Republican Corporations are now going to use the price of gas
as an excuse to royally screw their employees.

Walmart is going to have to start laying people off now--if they don't, those brats old Sam raised to be such selfish jackasses are going to start losing money.

1. Why do corporations need an 'excuse' to lay people off?
They often give their true motivation, which is to save money.

2. We have seen a preview in the Chicago courtroom
on what the corporations intend to do. And the judge is allow it to happen.

United petitioned the bankruptcy court to allow them to use the employees pension money to pay United's creditors. And the court is allowing this.

Thus, the high cost of fuel has a positive outcome for the corporatist. The high fuel costs are being used to drain employees accumulated earnings invested in company controlled pensions. This is why the DoJ is NOT prosecuting energy companies under anti-trust statutes. This is why United, Northwestern, Delta are NOT filing lawsuits against the energy companies. They all want to raid employees pensions.

We can look forward to all large corporations filing bankruptcy and petitioning the courts to allow the using pensiions to pay bills. Of course, they would prepair for this by beforehand diverting money overseas, to subsidiaries untouchable by the courts under current law.

3. I bet that the Wal-Mart employees pay the same price of gas
at the Wal-Mart gas pumps as do regular jokers . . . no employee discount . . .

4. china-mart is fucked....
They build their fucking meglomarts in the middle of fucking no where miles from anything, so as a result their profits will go down, because joe blow jackass china-mart shopper will reason, "duh, the gas price too high, must not drive, go to local supermarket, by hamburger helper there".

Their "low low low prices" won't be low for much longer and all the jerk offs that shop there will suddenly find other reasons to avoid taking the long ass drive to save a dime.

god, I loath them.

colossal failure*
