If your product is good enough, you can.

They don't HAVE to. They can still supply Target, Kohls, Mom & Pop stores and various regional chains like Fred Meyer.

There is plenty of outcry against McD's for the health content of their food. You don't know much about business do you? The only thing that people don't like about Walmart (mostly) is that they use their power to drive down supplier costs so they can have lower prices for customers. Little companies don't like it but it's something they have to do to be on Walmart shelves, but they don't need to. Small companies will never be able to compete against most bigger stores on price. Quit being a fucking braindead hippy.

I believe they can do it with ice as well.

Also, this doesn't make any sense to me. It could be because I'm pretty drunk and possibly breaking up with my girlfriend, though. Also, I just got a new job that I don't really want, but I have to take. And, my best friend just got a new job and is moving far away. Costco is basically just a big warehouse where you buy everything in bulk. I think he's saying that it's a supplier for small businesses and so forth as well as just a place where suburbanites buy groceries or whatever. Like instead of buying a little bag of Snickers Fun Size like they have at Walgreen's or whatever, you get the big box of Snickers bars that high school concession stands would buy. Also, you have to pay an annual membership fee, and it's not really just a nominal one, I don't think. By the way, sorry about your girlfriend, I hope things work out for you. Furthermore, I realized that there aren't any Wal-Marts in Chicago right now anyway, and that I'm glad there aren't. Still, I oppose the ordinance just because of the principle of it. Annual membership is $40. And as far as EricMM goes... shut the fuck up hippy. A city can just not approve Walmart going in, not to mention ALL companies care about the bottom line or they won't be in business. What about McDonalds which hires for minimum wage and doesn't offer benefits from what I remember? I have a friend who works at Lowes for around $9.50 per hour and even their benefits are still $70 a month for one person.

http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news...icle/19575.html Let the speculation begin~ Thought it appears to have something to do with the Enterprise and TOS since that is the old TOS logo with the specific Enterprise insignia, unless they retcon something. Kirk + Spock at Starfleet Academy? Could it be something like the books that featured Kirk and his father?

Well, everyone can still have faith in Arizona....

Lazy ass hippy.

No. For one, Costco CHOOSES to pay that. They don't have the city government come in and say that since you are a warehouse store, you need to pay your employees twice what everone else makes.

No, this specific targeting will just lead to store closures and people being out of the job. Companies do not like be specifically targetted and will move to places that welcome them and the jobs they create. And to be honest, $10 an hour for pushing carts is bullshit.

Oh Shit Son!

The issue is NOT higher wages. It's making a certain class of business pay more. If it was across the board I would champion it.

1. The DS9 cast probably wouldn't work because the show has been over for so long. You could use them in bit roles. 2. Voyager/Enterprise wouldn't work just because of the general opinon of suckitude. 3. You are now left with either a TNG or TOS supported cast that is not marred in anyway or creating something new that would link to one or the other. This will be difficult in some ways since there are no current show to drive it from. On an side note... They totally need to use the Guardian in a movie.

Anyone watch the Global Warming w/Tom Brokaw show on Discovery? Freaky stuff.

This nigga doesn't roll like that.

You can't be that stupid. It's discriminating against larger companies. Walmart, Target, K-Mart, Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. They will close down in areas like this. What about midsize or small companies? They still get to dick their employees for $6.

I usually go home and take a nap, then make myself some food and bring it back to work and eat as I work.

Either Marvin has bombed out completely with these girls and is too embarrased to post again, or he let one of them rub his bald heads. Which is it Curly?

That's very frustrating for me, because every time ESPN shows the Yankees it gets blacked out and I get two channels of ESPNnews. That would get annoying I suppose, but on the other hand I don't get ESPN News here so at least if I got them blacked out I'd get that for awhile. Yeah, but then you have to spend your weeknight wondering what's become of your life. Get some pussy dude.

Shut up you.

Burn?

Watch it Czech! What is that shit on yo chin nigga?

Now is the time when we need a posse to go riding.
