“The bottom line is Walmart provides associates with more opportunities for career growth and greater economic security for their families than other companies in America,” he said. “Our full and part-time workers get bonuses for store performance, access to a 401K-retirement plan, education and health benefits.”

I quit shopping in Walmart several years ago for several reasons which I won't go into.

Now people in fast food hamburger joints think they deserve $15 an hour.

Robot keeps stores stocked. This could be their - future.

Since then, defenders have argued that Obama has signed relatively few executive orders compared with other modern presidents.  But all exec ...

So when I saw that an economist for Moody’s and Forbes had written an op-ed calling self-reliant homesteaders “delusional,” I knew I’d be in for some misinformed hilarity. The article, entitled, “Dear Homesteaders, Self-Reliance Is a Delusion” was published a couple of days ago on the Forbes website. You’ll be forewarned tha ...
