Right, Hillary is really still the same woman who voted for the Iraq war.

This is what workers face under Obama and Hillary. The Waltons are such good friends of Hill! +++ Wal-Mart suddenly closed 5 stores and laid off thousands of workers and no one knows why HAYLEY PETERSON APR. 17, 2015, 9:52 AM 73,393 125 FACEBOOK LINKEDIN TWITTER EMAIL PRINT REUTERS/Joshua Lott Wal-Mart suddenly closed five stores in four states on Monday for alleged plumbing problems. The closures could last up to six months and affect roughly 2,200 workers in Texas, California, Oklahoma, and Florida, CNN Money reports. Wal-Mart employees say they were completely blindsided by the news, having been notified only a couple hours before the stores closed at 7 p.m. Monday. "Everybody just panicked and started crying," Venanzi Luna, a manager at a store in Pico Rivera, California, told CNN Money. All workers will receive paid leave for two months. After that, full-time workers could become eligible for severance, according to CNN Money. But part-time workers will be on their own. Local officials and employees have questioned Wal-Mart's reasoning for the closures. According to ABC News, "no plumbing permits have been pulled in any of the five cities where the stores were suddenly closed for at least six months." The cities where locations were closed include Brandon, Florida, Pico Rivera, California, Livingston, Texas, Midland, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. A city official in Pico Rivera confirmed to CBS Los Angeles that the city has not received any permit requests for building repairs. In Midland, Texas, where another store was closed, a city official told ABC News that his plumbing inspector was turned away when he visited the store and offered to help secure construction permits. Wal-Mart plumbing technician Codi Bauer, who worked at the now shuttered store in Brandon, Florida, questioned the company's time frame for the repairs. "Even if they had to replace the whole sewer line, it wouldn't take six months to replace a whole sewer line in that store," he told WFLA. We reached out to Wal-Mart for comment and will update when we hear back. A Wal-Mart spokesman told Consumerist that the company had not secured permits "because we have yet to know the full extent of the work that needs to be done. We may also have to do additional upgrades that may require additional permits." Some employees believe that the stores were closed because of worker protests for higher pay. Employees of the Pico Rivera store were among the first to hold Black Friday protests in 2012. "This is the first store that went on strike," an employee told CBS Los Angeles. "This is the first store in demanding changes for Walmart." Read more: businessinsider.com

"People who say people don't evolve don't believe in the Theory of Evolution." I don't believe in the Theory of Evolution because of it's flaw in explaining how life comes from non-life, because it fails to explain the existence of consciousness, because it does not answer the simplest question like," why is there something instead of nothing." The Theory of Evolution hides from the unexplainable uncertainties of infinity and awareness. The Theory does not allow for the growth of human ideas like enlightenment, which is the philosophical foundation of modern societies. It completely ignores the mysteries of nonmaterial existence. I could go on but... But I do believe healthy people grow and change (evolve) as they adapt to the stresses of the world. Unhealthy people become stuck do to the corruptions of group pressure.
