I had a look at that site and what makes me wonder is the title "VP of
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion"? Do businesses in the U.S. now require
someone to tell the employees how to treat customers? Or other
employees?

The U.S. seems to have become a very strange country, or perhaps
"weird" is the word.

Are you aware the Babylon Bee is a satire site? The info isn't real, it's comedy.

Their motto is:
"Fake news you can trust, delivered straight to your inbox!".

The Babylon Bee seems too close to reality for me to distinguish
between comedy and reality. If this is also your problem, take the
quiz and see where you stand:
<https://babylonbee.com/quiz/the-bee-or-not-the-bee>
Hmmm... I only got 2 out of 10 questions correct. I should probably
read the satirical news articles more carefully and more often.
However, it's easier to not read the Babylon Bee and not worry about
it.

Babylon Bee is a satire website.

Which is a rough business now because the nation is so
convoluted today that as Vicki McKenna notes, "We are beyond
parody."

lol...sure thing skippy - the black population of the US before the Civil Rights Act was exemplar of the the 'nuclear family'.

Meanwhile, andre the stain basks in the largess of his own government:
https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/other/social-welfare-ireland-200-bonus-to-be-paid-this-week-to-certain-recipients/ar-AA1agwx4

€200 doesn't do much for those of us who have reasonable incomes from contributing to society, but I'd imagine it goes a long way for someone suckling off the government teat like you.

You might want to stick to criticising your own back yard, stain-boy.

https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/ourview/arid-41149939.html

You remember....that's the newspaper that not only fired you but proceeded to purge anything you ever wrote for them from their archives. Now their taking on not only your hero, but you homeland in one swipe:

"Many countries, particularly in Africa, view his contribution as baleful and a significant factor in extending the rule of apartheid, to a point where South Africans now lament the fact that Nelson Mandela was released at least five years too late, and that the consequential limits on his vigour and reconciliatory powers led directly to the chaos which now threatens to overwhelm the continent’s most influential country economically and politically."

"chased by south african death squads" indeed.....lol

I used to really like that web site; it's great when stuck
on telephone hold. But there are few updates now but I
assume the variety and breadth of Wal Mart shoppers has not
actually changed.

I can only comment from reading the "news" but I do have to agree with
Vicki (whoever that may be)

Along those lines I read that you can now convert your "classic car"
(some call 'em "Old Bangers) to Electric. Won't that be wonderful?

"Well, lets see... we had to change the wheels and suspension 'cause
the batteries in the back seat are so heavy. and of course there's no
gear box any more - all electric you know. ... BUT! The steering wheel
is original!" (:-)

I avoid Walmart except when traveling. When we're on vacation, we
sometimes find it's the only store in town.

But as I recall, the shoppers look much more like the people on that
website, and much less like the ones in Walmart advertisements.

It's a hobby thing, a technical challenge taken on as mechanical (or
electro-mechanical) art.

In principle, it's no different from someone taking a 1930 Model A and
making it into a hot rod with a 400+ cubic inch V8.

Or for Andrew's benefit, giving a 2nd generation Corvair a mid-engine V8.

But Frank, haven't you noticed that Walmart prices are a lot lower than those of other stores? How much money would you have to save before you would be willing to shop with people from outside your social class? Maybe you should try to concern yourself less with distinctions in social class.

That's the Afro-Irishman' claim to fame. He took what he described as

[funkma...@hotmail.com]

Wow....way to make assumptions about someones character.....I avoid Walmart because I don't like their employment policies and political associations. And before you go off on a rant about how ineffective that is, I'll leave this for you to consider:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/30/breitbart-news-kelloggs-advertising-boycott-alt-right
https://www.businessinsider.com/target-bud-light-boycotts-working-social-media-culture-war-2023-6?op=1

I'm still not going to shop at walmart if I can avoid it, regardless of any baseless assumptions you choose to make about classism. Funny how you right wingers keep hammering Frank for "sticking his nose in other peoples business", then you try class-shame him, fucking hypocrites.

Seems to depend on how you do it, ie if you put a 700hp engine plus
batteries into a morris minor which is what sub 50hp? Then yes your going
to need better brakes/suspension and so on.

If you use a motor plus battery more in line with its original design then
you don’t need to, as far as I’m aware.

There is a mid wales place who do both ie hot rod or sleeper type plus
something rather more sympathetic.

Ish E MTB are for example quite a different beast to ride than a motorcycle
or moped, lot due to weight, also why E - MTB (lite) are a thing ie E MTB
with weights close to acoustic MTB which give a bit of help.

My friends have some E MTB doesn’t feel like riding with motorcycles just
slightly fitter riders.

It means they can ride on longer distances ie daft stuff that I do! With
out being absolutely done for!

The actual problem and the source of all of the arguments here is the entire misperception of the Stupid 4 is what their actual social class is. Frank believes that because he lives in an all white neighborhood that puts higher in the social class. John hasn't lived in the USA for almost forever but without any hesitation will tell you all about it, Liebermann is a sick old man who is dying a piece at a time but believes that having a college degree means that he has a legacy to leave behind. Flunky is just realizing that he is so replaceable that the simplest AI could replace his with no pause in production.

The entire Democrat social structure is designed to take everything these people have away from them and that fear turns them into nothing more than slaves willing to do anything to retain the present status quo while at the same time it is being jerked right out from beneath them.

attention to prices. Unlike some posting here, I can easily afford to
buy what I want without whining.

Shop where you like. But try to engage your brain before posting.

Come on now, Frank, be honest: you don't shop at Walmart because, on a social basis, you don't happen to approve of the people who shop there. You save about 20% by shopping there, compared to the food chain stores, so there really can be no other explanation except snobbery for your insistence on spending more money elsewhere, no matter how much money you have.

[Lou Holtman]

I feel privileged that I can shop were I feel comfortable. Is that snobbery? Strange.

Lou

[Tom Kunich]

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with shopping where you feel comfortable. But is there any social difference between shopping in Walmart and Safeway or Albertson's or Luckys aside from Lucky's being neater by a small fraction.

I have to agree with William that Frank shops where he does for the same reason that he lives in the all white neighborhood he does - he is a snob who doesn't want minorities around him and he believes that minorities shop at Walmart. Remember that during the Obama Presidency, the Stupid 4 were declaring anyone that didn't like Obama as racists rather than people who didn't like Obama's silly policies. And it has since come out that this group who were hollering names are exactly what they were calling others.

Two blocks away from me is a Pak n' Sav which is sort of a low class Safeway outlet store. You bag your own groceries. If it weren't so convenient I would go to Luckys but that is a mile and a half way as is the full fledged Safeway. I see no reason to be picky about things that all are the same simply because of the name on the entrance. There is a Nob Hill grocery in Alameda which is supposedly a high end grocery and a Whole Foods in Fremont likewise. Walking through either impresses me not in the slightest, but there's a dumpy little neighborhood "Al's Market" in Castro Valley that has their own butcher shop that is the overwhelming hidden gem of grocery stores. And a vegetable market near my bike shop that has actual fresh vegetables. Not the kind that have been bred for long shelf life. So if I am making something special I can have the best of the best in two stops. And unlike the Stupid 4 I know how to cook though my younger brother is better with grilled steaks on the BBQ.

I'm not "just realizing it", I've had no doubt for quite some time that AI could even now perform a large part of my job function - the same goes for the typical software/hardware engineer. The quote Ken Jennings "I bow to our computer overlord".

You, on the other hand, were always replaceable by a small pile of goose poop.

Of course they are different to ride. After all they are grossly

But go out and buy a "proper electric bike", a HPC Revolution XX -

Bullshit. I don't know much about the people who shop there, because
(again) I don't shop there. I think I've been in the local Walmart
twice, for items I couldn't find elsewhere. I may have been in about
five other ones while traveling over the years.

> You save about 20% by shopping there, compared to the food chain stores, so there really can be no other explanation except snobbery for your insistence on spending more money elsewhere, no matter how much money you have.

Your standards are not my standards.

Regarding food stores: As I've described before, we happen to get our
groceries at a store whose prices some people complain about. I don't
have firsthand knowledge about relative prices, because I don't do
comparison shopping, and I don't read the advertising flyers that come
via mail or with the newspaper. I've got far better things to do than
study which store will save me a quarter on a can of corn, or whatever.

I chose our particular grocery store because it's a pleasant bicycle
ride from our house.

Same here in the USA, at least here in Florida. To use on the
highways, it would also require a driver's licence, head and tail
lights, and insurance. It woud be illegal on most of the bike trails.

As for the electric motor scooters on the bike trails around here, I
see them as a nuisance. In my opinion, they should require a driver's
licence and insurance, too.

"Say the troll afraid to go back to his homeland now that his apartheid regime was expelled."

Funkmeister, do you really believe that things are better now in South Africa than they were under the "apartheid regime"? If that is your contention, then you haven't been paying attention! (I'm a poet and don't know it.)

I'm going to have to start calling you "Kamala Junior", Funky, for the way that you raise straw-man arguments and then step aside, act like you never said it and think nobody will call you on it. You do it just the way Kamala did in the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate, where she attacked Biden because he is against school busing. But she failed to mention that EVERYBODY, black, white and green, is against school busing these days. Biden should have called her out and asked her if she was in favor of busing. If so, she would have been the only Democratic candidate who was, and would have been ridiculed out of the race. But because her skin was black, she not only got a free pass for her nonsensical statements, but thereby became a "contendah" in the presidential race. Funky, NO ONE except you thinks that S. Africa is better off since the Blacks took over, confiscated the white peoples' property and businesses and forced them to leave the country. Their economic and manufacturing base has been decimated. You need to start dealing with reality and bag that useless ideology of yours.

And even at that they are incompetent.

But now it is a threat of replacing the Stupid 4 and so it is important.

The "high tech" industries in Silicon Valley are now nothing more than social media companies and they were a thousand percent overmanned when the idiot managers believed that the more people worked under them the more important they were. Should we be surprised that as the money ran out that the companies like Facebook should fire thousands and replace the "nothing" they did with an AI that is no more competent?

What shouldn't be a shock is that the man who calls himself an electronics engineer has never for one second showed himself to have sufficient knowledge of any kind to be an engineer.

Then in some sort of asinine comment he talks about South Africa as if he knew something about it is abolishing any respect he might have had among the slower members of the group. You know, he sounds like some sort of 80's flower child who had been told bad things about something but doesn't even know the results of what occurred when those small errors were corrected.

Where did I say it was better off? You're just as bad as the other magatards here, _wishing_ I wrote something rather than what I actually wrote.

Funny how you prattle on about strawman arguments, when you've invented something I never wrote, fucking hypocrite.

The issue was that these suppliers unfortunately put all their eggs into walmarts basket, in many cases due to walmart forcing them to sign exclusivity contracts if they wanted the Walmart contract. Plenty of blame to go around, but when one is offered a very large contract - likely worth more than all the other supplier contracts combined, it makes some sense as to why the supplier would take the deal. However, Walmart then followed up with demands to cut the wholesale price. A contract violation? Maybe, but just try and sue a behemoth like walmart...The supplier is then faced then with a choice to cut costs or lose the vast majority of their sales.

That is precisely what my friend described to me, long ago. (The
conversation was back in the 1990s, IIRC.) He called it "whipsawing." I
don't know if that's a standard term for it or something he coined.

Lets try to ignore the insult to the noble English language in Flunky's very first word. Did that poor dumb fuck Flunky really write that? The apartheid regime wasn't expelled, monkeyface, it handed over power voluntarily and in good order. It happened over twenty years after I was sent into exile for making a good case that Mandela should be released. Twenty years later people said, "Andre was right. We could have cut a better deal back then."

Let's call him on his lies in his single sentence you quoted, William, right now. Let's see it again:

Why should I be afraid to go back? When the ANC formed a government, they offered me a senior government job, which I politely declined. I didn't see the point of taking a 98% income cut to go live in a place where I'd have to drive around in an armoured vehicle and live behind high walls topped by barbed wire, with armed security patrolling the grounds, and expose my family to the same. I knew what would happen, that crime would go through the roof, and the country would fall into corruption. I prefer to remember the South Africa I grew up in, in which we didn't lock our doors or gates, and cops paid for their drinks in the bar and their apple at the greengrocer.

In the 1960s you could see it happening all over Africa. Harold MacMillan's "wind of change" didn't blow any good tidings. I probably know more than anyone else on RBT about what America will look and feel like at the apogee of the race division Obama started and that racist idiot Biden is aggravating, precisely because of my experience in Africa. But mine isn't a unique or even novel vision: Charles McCarry, one of the keenest observers the CIA ever had, with a good deal of African experience, gave a sound foretaste in a novel, most likely The Better Angels, published probably thirty years ago. Ironically, the reason for my second and final exile was that I thought, and said, that they should release Mandela and cut a deal with him because every year that passed the Communists gained more influence in the ANC. (Don't bother feeling sorry for me. As a political exile, I never missed a meal, and not a single country refused me entry -- most welcomed me effusively. There isn't anywhere in the world where I couldn't with a single phone call from the airport find a job that came with a nice car, a driver, and a house in the green belt -- in Australia my first job, when I arrived from South America with a seeping bullet wound, came with a house in Vaucluse which had a speedboat in the boathouse, so I went to work in Pitt Street by speedboat up the estuary, giving the rush hour traffic jams a total miss,w and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and tied it up below the Opera House, and told a reporter for my profile in the group of magazines I ran, "I stay so fit by walking to work every day." All of a hundred yards! She thought, and wrote, that I walked into the city from Vaucluse, lotta miles.)

>You do it just the way Kamala did in the first 2020 Democratic presidential debate, where she attacked Biden because he is against school busing. But she failed to mention that EVERYBODY, black, white and green, is against school busing these days. Biden should have called her out and asked her if she was in favor of busing. If so, she would have been the only Democratic candidate who was, and would have been ridiculed out of the race. But because her skin was black, she not only got a free pass for her nonsensical statements, but thereby became a "contendah" in the presidential race. Funky, NO ONE except you thinks that S. Africa is better off since the Blacks took over, confiscated the white peoples' property and businesses and forced them to leave the country. Their economic and manufacturing base has been decimated. You need to start dealing with reality and bag that useless ideology of yours.

I dislike Walmart and similar stores for their destruction of small
mom and pop stores. After seeing a LBS going up belly up several years
ago, there is finaly, a new small LBS near enough to me to be useful.
I'm willing to pay a few bucks more to support them.

[Tom Kunich]

My infrequent visits to Walmart showed me that they carry cheap clothing made in China - do doesn't? None of the larger more expensive products like TV's can be obtained in any department store and for more or less the same price. Their FOOD is the same food as any large grocery store though the quality is usually off of the bottom of the barrel. I do not see Walmart as anything other than a low end department store. I can buy cheaper home appliances from Sears scratch and dent or Home Depot., During a sale perhaps even at Airport Home Appliances.

[Tom Kunich]

Flunky has never been out of his all white neighborhood. He doesn't know what the world is like. In Mexico City, the 12 foot high walls with broken glass on top and armed security patrols was NORMAL for regular working people that could afford a home of their own. When Obama was in office he asked the Mexican President to send all of the illegals north he could and so he backed his buses up to all of the prisons and shipped them all up to the border and into the USA.

My across the street neighbor went to visit his father in Mexico City after that and it was an entirely different world. He even bought a winter home there near his father. He says that crime is almost gone and they don't even have people robbing the church collection. That did more for the safety of the common Mexican than all of the Prisons combined. Now they are here and selling Fentanyl on the streets.

To Flunky the present black government is without fault because he doesn't know the world. He even thinks that France is safe. Being a scrawny coward, he is the perfect target in Italy while the criminal class stay well clear of me.

[Tom Kunich]

Sears, Macy's Home Depot, Safeway, Albertson's and the rest have decimated Mom and Pop stores that cannot offer quality rather than price. So that isn't a valid excuse. Hell even Arbies put most Giant Burgers out of business because of price - their clientel couldn't tell quality when there was a 75 cent savings.

Not arguing, but what "exclusive contract"? A contract to only supply
"eggs" to Walmart? Or to only supply "small eggs" to Walmart?

But as for suing Walmart for violation of contract, how is that
difficult?

I can't comment in U.S. courts but the company I worked for sued Arco
Oil Company, at the time the second largest oil producer in
Indonesia... and won, in Indonesian courts.

More snobbishness from Krygowski. I had bought an entire new set of appliances from Sears scratch and dent. Exactly why should I care if there is a scratch or dent in areas that are entirely unseen? I don't give a damn that there is a dent in the side of my car from the previous owner. If I had done it perhaps I would have had it repaired but in two years I have put 4,000 miles or less on the car and have never taken a trip long enough to calculate the gas mileage. He doesn't bother with the cost of such things which is why I have over a million dollars in investments and he hasn't shit.

Larger companies like walmart have vast seas of lawyers that use every possible legal (and sometimes not-so-legal) tactics to delay, obfuscate, challenge, countersue....unless the plaintiff has rather large resources that can pay for all that additional court/lawyer time, they eventually have to give up simply because they can't afford it.
