Hershey's Chocolate and the J-1 Visas

This is in the National News currently,  it should be a wake up call about the manipulation and deterioration of conditions for the working class in America.    The bottom 20% is being asked to work harder for less, and gee, strangely enough, we can't even figure out who is responsible. 

The Yahoo story mentioned that Hershey is scheduled to shed 500 of the remaining 1900 union jobs in the near future. Why don't we unionize the warehouse where the foreign students were working?   So we have to pay an extra nickel for our candy bars?  Even better, cut the executive compensation package by 20%.

Another Quarter

Of Declining (Domestic) Same Store Sales at Walmart;  You have to read the fine print in the news stories to learn that, Profits Are UP!  Things are looking Wonderful.....

That's NINE (9) CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS. 

Something is seriously wrong with the economy Wallmart shoppers live in. 

And no one wants to talk about it.

But what do I know?
