Bagging Groceries Seen as Good Career by Unions
Yet another example of why unions are ruining the economy, making everything cost more, and why Wal-Mart actually has the right idea about how to sell groceries.

I'm pretty psyched about the Fresh & Easy (Tesco) opening up in Pico Rivera.

Although you know I have to say, it shouldn't matter if you bag groceries, work at target, or run a fortune 500 company. Every working American should be entitled to a living wage, end of story.

the thing is if we have people who never do anyting more productive than bag groceries their whole life, it's goign to bring the country down unless they dont take any more production out of the system than whatever is equivalent to bagging groceries 40 hrs a week.
in a utopia the government could round up 15 year olds and make them bag groceries and pick vegetables before they went on to be educated and become R&D scientists |

I never said anything about a utopia government. I just said everyone should be entitled to a living wage. And I don't necessarily think that will keep them from getting better jobs.
Only those who have the drive to get better jobs are going to get them. Not everyone does and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. |

Well, construction work is out of the question. They can make more money bagging groceries with all of the Mexicans around.

my point was anyone who doesnt produce on a certain level is not contributing much to society, whether it's because theyre lazy or mentally disabled. if they get more out of society than they put in, theyre bringing it down.
if you want to just give your production away in return for very little, that's fine, but unless you have unlimited riches to give away, too much of that leaves you with a poor country |

I am all for testing traits in babies and killing them at birth if they show signs of weakness.

on that note, regarding "richest country in the world, worst health care", i dont think we'd be the richest by such a margin if we did have universal health care, if we would even still hold the title

People, bag your own groceries and bring a tote bag! Let's start phasing out plastic bags everywhere.

I'd rather live in one of the more decent nations instead one of the richest. Say what you will about free health care but what we have in its current state is a fucking scam, to say the least.
If universal health care isn't the answer it still needs to be affordable to every working American, I'm pretty sure at the end of the day that's what concerns people most. Cost. Not how that cost is brought down, just the fact that it is. |

well, maybe if they're unionized they'll start getting lazier and won't rush to put your 3 purchases into 5 different bags when you don't even need one.
