One more group of American workers that can question why everyone says the economy is getting better...

The economy gets better when it functions more efficiently.

Walmart is eliminating an unecessary intermediary in their supply-chain. This should lower their costs which they can then pass on to their customers or to their owners.

Suggestion: You can enjoy this benefit by becoming either a customer or an owner of Walmart.

These disgruntled drivers can now find jobs that will actually contribute to our economy.

They are probably more out-of-work or less able to pay their bills, than disgruntled.

Excellent reply to someone who obviously believes that Walmart should be responsible for making sure that union drivers remain employed at the expense of their own customers realizing lower prices.

Guaranteed employment for everyone? Say, didn't France try that sort of thing? What's their unemployment rate? I believe it is about 11%. Russia tried this also and we know how they wound up.

Yeah, I celebrate that lower price everytime I go into Wal-mart and wait in line 20 minutes to check out. EVERY time.

Wal-Mart may have the lowest prices but their service has become the biggest joke on the planet.

We did a thing on Japan in a college business class. The thing I remember most is that Japan didn't have much of a direct welfare system. Instead, they made the consumer supply chain so deep and redundant that there were plenty of jobs available. Welfare by any other name...
