(19,537 posts)... which I think reflects more that the right wing pushes overstock and cheap shipments of books to their liking that winds up at places like Costco.
You hardly ever find great books like those of Naomi Klein's on disaster capitalism, but every day you'll find at least 5-10 books from the Sean Hannity's, Laura Ingraham's, Glen Beck's of the world there.
I still wonder if we can make a campaign to get them to at least stock more of the books from our side at their stores to better meet the needs of their customers who are more aligned with our politics than the right's. Every time I see a book there by someone from the left, I make sure to scoop it up. I think the only one I've seen for months there was Rachel Maddow's which I bought immediately then.
I make sure that I get my gasoline from Costco (it's cheap and at least they take care of their people a lot more even if the gasoline they buy on the open market might not be from a decent source). Citgo is hard to find any more.
Also, they have a great price on cases of Mexican Coke, which is a lot better than other American made soft drinks when it uses real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
