I find this funny, but I don't see how that makes them greedy. I see Canadians doing the same sh*t at my local Meijer. :sonicjay:

I suppose you're right. We never fought over anything, but then again there wasn't anything on the shelves when they were done. It was like walking into a k-mart when its a 70% off going out of business sale every night there. The Walmart would just refill and be gone by midnight.

 

Years ago we had a group in from China for training. Each person got stuck taking them to dinner. Most took them to fancy places. I took them to a Coney joint and then to Meijers shopping. They had never seen a shopping center and were infatuated. I couldn’t get the woman translator out of the women’s clothing section. :sonicjay:

My coworkers were appalled that I would take them to those places but when they left they told me I was the best host. :d:

I had a new Chief, his family hadn’t came yet, they were back home.
He asked me to take him to a casino over the border in Nevada, he had never been.
It was during the height of my alcoholic years and he was a piker. He tried to keep up:beerbang:
I didn’t gamble, because I suck at it. He wanted to learn. Boy, did he get a lesson!
I never met his wife and family, but I heard her yelling (over the phone) about a $50,000 second on their house.
We got a new Chief after a year, his old department took him back.

I got the blame, they said I set him up, but the truth is he liked drinking, gambling and staying up all night doing cocaine with hookers. Hardly MY fault...

 

My one sister has a timeshare in FL, she sometimes goes down to it between christmas and new years. During that time there is an influx of Asian tourists, I've never seen a group of more greedy people. When we go with my sister we'll get food to eat at the timeshare and we'll be stuck behind some Chinese family with 3 heaping shopping of goods to ship back to home. Its nuts. Black Friday has nothing on these people.

Yellow Wednesday?

We do cus shits expensive up here. You guys have so much more variety and the prices are lower than what we pay.

I know, I don't know how you guys afford anything. I remember taking a day trip to Goderich years ago and I swear the taxes on my bill were as much as the food and drinks!

 

Because Capitalism is evil lol.

 

That's not capitalism, that's really socialism. Redistribution of wealth.
A polite way of feeding the welfare recipients occupying D.C.

The fact that we have a wider selection of goods at lower prices due to market pressures of capitalism is socialism? Or what am I misunderstanding here.

 

I was referring to the taxes on the greygoose purchases.

 

Gotcha

So capitalism works, then?

Completely serious.

Capitalism helps control market prices to limit inflation, and fosters more people to make more stuff.

You get a cheaper price and more choices to choose from.

There is the problem of quality of the choices, IE Harbor Freight, but people have convinced themselves that items don't need to last "because nothing lasts anymore". So, there is good and bad to Capitalism; but the bad (shitty quality) is more of a consumer choice (to purchase the shitty things) rather than a fault of Capitalism

There's still people purchasing top dollar stuff though, that market is served as well.

Exactly. There is still the option to buy cheap, or buy quality, or buy midway inbetwixt

That is what Capitalism offers. A choice.

Choice to buy, or not, choice to fail or not....and so on, so on.

Agreed, true capitalism is as Libertarian as it get's.

Too bad we'll never see free market healthcare thanks to Obama.

So true, on both comments.

 

Werther's Original has an unfair reputation as old man candy. They are delicious.

They are delicious. I have Werthers in my candy dish on my desk here at work and I'm not an old man. Although, some on here say I am because I like white letter tires. :finger:

Other nice part of capitalism...is there's pressure to get better when there's competition. When HF started there was a lot of garbage sold there. Over the past few years they have steadily increased quality on many of their products.

Between the quality slippage of Craftsman and the improvements of HF, there are some things I'd rather get from HF than wherever Craftman is sold anymore (ACE & Lowes?).
