  • China, biggest bubble in economic history: Empty cities with no sign of life - there are no cars, no people, no businesses,...University with a capacity of 2.3 million students, sits EMPTY! Know something empty near you?

  • Social Justice Issues: HUGE

    Walmart; Now they want to come into NY to really increase their already billions of dollar revenues.

    The Big Problem about Walmart; A social justice issue. Wallmart is most accountable because of size, power, and revenue potential; the majority of Walmart's products are overseas and many , if not all, of the overseas workers work for a little over $1.00 per day or less than $1.00 per day to make the product.

  • Continued…What is worst, some companies that allow oversees factories to make these products sometimes take away some wages from the workers in order to increase their bottom dollar of revenues.

  • The oppressed workers, of course, have no say, because they have no means of other income, or even unemployment benefit if they raise a voice and get immediately fired. I spoke to several workers, for example, in a Dominican Republic factory, who make products for several America companies. This action was repeatedly confirmed by actual workers. They are afraid.

  • continued.... Now, Mr. McMillan, as a manager for Walmart, who want to only hire the best workers…what do you think? Willl your great American workers have integrity? Or when they see or hear something wrong and speak out, will you immediately fire them? Is this discusting to you as it is to me? Is this what Mr. Doug McMillan, CEO and President, mean by respecting individuals and integrity?

  • Continued…Can you now be a voice for the injustices taking place for the sake of a dollar bill? How do Billion Dollar making Companies, like Walmart, manage risk of oppression? I’d love to know. Can a huge international company sacrifice one or two of their billions for the sake of equality and fair pay? The good sake of creating jobs, but is it at just pay for all in order to place adequate food on their table across the world?

  • Continued…America, you have the right to FOIL = free information act to obtain a report of Walmart’s risk management policies on worker oppression potential to these indigenous factory workers in other countries. Then match it to the TRUTH!!! Remember this would need to be done as “underground investigation” May be CNN can take the lead.

  • Walmart and other Big company official WILL NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. Big Companies certainly don’t want this exposure and caution because the indigenous workers WILL get fired if they were to give real information about their Reality, the TRUTH. No, this is not integrity on part of Walmart.

  • To Wallmart: Of course asia, latin america, india and china are listed as long term potentials because many poor working people hired are desperate and can be easily be taken advantage of.

  • A Big company can bring in value world wide and at the same time be fair with pay and benefits for all its workers, but the problem is, the Big Companies continually want to see their revenues increase (the rich get richer and the poor get poorer) and then this is where the SOCIAL JUSTICE Issue [discretely] begins...
