>>"Walmart is probably the largest single contributor to the eradication or amelioration of poverty we have."<<

You say you live close to the edge...man, don't kid yourself...you have gone over it with that truly stupid statement.
The largest segment of our population would be in real poverty if not for employee health care, fixed pensions, Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security. Enlightened, inspired union leadership such as Walter Reuther of the UAW got those first ones for Americans and protected Social Security from the brain dead supporters of the repug party. I would not be at all surprised to find out that you are one of them and are eager for 401Ks (201Ks?) to enhance the wealth of the 1%, voucher Medicare so you can return to the good ole days of death at 60, (if lucky), penniless and privatized Social Security to help out Wall Street (life in the Hamptons is not getting less expensive and they don't have enough Walmarts out there).

And re your "cranium", you have had a major malfunction. Hurry quickly to your nearest Walmart for a repair.
