Home Depot is not in the same line of business. Their employees make a lot more money than Wal-Mart employees. You ever tried to get a job there? It's hard as hell. They expect a lot more of their employees, things like construction, plumbing, electrical or interior design experience.
Apples and oranges homie. Adam, admit it, this is a bad idea. I know your almost there man, I can hear the desperation in your typing. Yes, it's a nice idea. Yes it would be great if there were a way to do this legally and financially, but there really isn't man. Also it's immoral. It's extortion. If I were Wal-Mart I would say "Fine, our jobs aren't good enough for your state?" Then I would close every store in Maryland until they decided to get rid of this law. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Haskell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 12:47 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: [signs of sanity] MD no longer subsidizing Walmart > > I am not saying everyone should have healthcare.
