People are realizing the soviet-style Federal Reserve manipulation of the money supply for political reasons has completely failed.

They are closing the Express stores which were a really bad idea.
Dow is up 30 points today
If you used Amazon as the barometer of this country's economic performance over the last few years, you'd get a very different story.
Do you have a feeling that something really bad is about to happen?...
Not for me as I have no stake in the Market. Personally I hope for the best and PREPARE for the worst:-)
The one store that is opening all over the place here in my corner of Alabama is the Dollar General. They are popping up all over the place. Starting out just like Wal Mart did in the beginning with all those small stores all over the place. I was in Germany when Wal Mart first came to our areas here and when I came home all these new stores were around. I asked my mother when those opened and she said last year and the guy who owned them lived in Arkansas. I had never heard of the company until I returned from Germany.
“Did you know that 15 trillion dollars of global stock market wealth has been wiped out since last June?”
Really, factories, office buildings, and electrical generating plants have vanished into thin air? Nope, they’re still there. They are just selling for a slightly different price on the stock market. If you wait a while, you might get a better price....or maybe not.
You wanna laugh? 5/2014 The U.S. economy is within sight of the Federal Reserve’s inflation and EMPLOYMENT goals, and is expected to grow at a “robust” pace for the rest of the year, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard said on Friday.
It’s just Obama working to flesh out his “legacy.” We need to be praying that our country gets through the next 12 months and one day!
I think America is about one terrorist event from crashing the economy and the one in the WH declaring martial law. If a terrorist attack happened at some huge mall or sporting even, it would cause people to stop going to stores, afraid of another attack and the economy simply cannot take it. I think the economy is a house of cards. Held up with chewing gum and it is about to fall. Just one big event could cause a collapse of the economy. We simply are just too in debt to take it. But, this what the left wants. Tear America down and rebuild it like the Soviet Union or worse Babylon of Nimrod’s time. That is ultimately where the world is heading, the One World Government. The Bible makes that CLEAR!
Walmarts loss is Amazon’s gain. Change happens. Writer scare is scare monger.
bho is happy that American Capitalism is crumbling.
Those office building are empty because we have plenty around here along with the stores and shops that have closed down. Don’t care if the buildings are worth millions, if no one is in them using them then they are worthless to me. I am paying for the buildings and getting no rent back and clearly no one is expanding to buy them.
The markets are flat today.
So far.
I agree, those Express stores didn’t fit.
But they did close a SuperCenter in Fairfield, Alabama.
Your opinion. I don’t agree with you. If you think the country is hunky dorrie, that is your opinion and I completely disagree. All I have to do is take a peek at my wife’s 401k and see that.
USA - the "safe haven."
I've been very disappointed at how the Wal-Mart story has been incorrectly reported. They are "retooling" those stores, to adapt to changes in buying habits. Even Rush made it sound like 16,000 will be laid off. Some jobs may be cut, but most will transfer to other stores.
I posted it on my alumni forum, just to see who would jump on it like red meat. I wasn't disappointed: the libs could only talk about how evil Wal-mart is.
What is a WalMart “express store?”
Is that what WalMart “neighborhood markets” are called?
We have a WM neighborhood market in our area, and a semi-super store a mile away.
