    That's why people are pissed. Also, you don't see how you look like a dweeb by calling places you've never been "shitholes?" This has nothing to do with Trump, but just in general it doesn't make you look good.

    Technically all true of W, though, considering extent of mastery of 2 of the 3 descriptors, not super supportive of the conclusion.

    To be a fighter pilot, does one need to actually fight?

    Negative. It describes the type of plane flown and the training to fight. One can be a fighter pilot without actually seeing combat. The ICBM launch squadron members are still ICBM launchers, even though they've never launched a nuclear warhead.

    Up all night with a stomach virus so I'm doing a West wing rewatch for the 100th time and taking a hit from the Aaron Sorkin bong.

    I'm midway through Season 3. Just watched the episode where Bartlet agreed to a bipartisan Congressional censure "because he was wrong." First of all, this Congress agreeing to anything like that would take a miracle and b) the thought of this president admitting anything wrong (even though that's all he does) is laughable too. What I wouldn't give for West Wing to be real life and for this dystopian crap we're living through to be the product of a TV show.

    Historically, do you think Wal-Marts hiring has been linear? Or do you think that their business needs change and they have to adapt to stay competitive?

    If they hire 10,000 and lay off 1000 is that a bad thing? They employ over 1.5 million people ya know.

    Go shed your tears elsewhere.

    By and large yeah their hiring has been linear. That said, they've made mistakes and a lot of those cuts are on the corporate side of Sam's club. After all why have the corporate infrastructure if you're cutting stores out?

    They are facing great competition from Amazon and Costco. This is a good thing, it will force them to get better.

    Laying off 1000 people by someone who employees 1 million + is a non story. They will probably rehire many of those same people in a different part of the company. While their hiring may be close to linear, this is far from the first time they have laid people off.

    Maybe they layoff at Sams Club and hire at Jet.com

    Actually the corporate jobs are some of the better paying ones available in Arkansas. And they're not about to go on a hiring binge after they just bought the company. Not when Walmart has had their own e commerce people out in California.

    Yeah he’s talking out of his ass on this one. They will not rehire those people. They bring in others for cheaper and just add the workload onto the ones they don’t lay off. Those corporate employees are fucked in terms of finding another equal job in NWA. They could maybe get on with a vendor or Tyson or god forbid JB Hunt but as far as finding another job like they had it’s simply not there.

    They're all very good points but I think the 'shithole' connotation also speaks directly to his racism because the guy believes anywhere full of colored people must be a shithole. Can't overlook that aspect of it

    Why should they be entitled to another job in NWA? People move for work all the time.

    How many corporate millionaires has Wal-Mart made? I’d venture to guess a lot more than most other companies.

    Layoffs / restructuring etc are not exclusive to Walmart.

    Sams club was not booming. No one is arguing that. The layoffs are necessary in order to compete With Costco and Amazon. The competition will result in better service and results for everyone. Something you probably can’t comprehend.
