While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

"History has shown that suppliers suffer if they run afoul of Wal-Mart. Rubbermaid raised the prices it charged Wal-Mart in the mid-1990s because of an 80% jump in the cost of a key ingredient in its plastic containers. The retailer responded by giving more shelf space to lower-priced competitors, helping drive Rubbermaid into a 1999 merger with rival Newell, says John Mariotti, a former Rubbermaid executive. "Rubbermaid earned Wal-Mart's wrath by not giving it the best deal," he says."
There are many other company's that have run afoul of Walmart.
Rarely has hidden material costs been the rationale for moving production to low labor cost countries, which is where this started.
the part that does go to farm industries can be split between dairy product producers (the next step or two above farmer) and processing centers that are to labor intensive to ever be profitable, except the health of the nation requires OJ in the winter. the family (and large operation) farmers get very, very little of that entire amount.
Every industry is subject to business cycles. That's a fact of life. Scat may bot like that, may refuse to even acknowledge it's true, but time breaks down mountains too.
Been there, done that.

Dear factory you can stay closed I have a better safer and higher paying job without you and nobody can tell me differently. It call freedom in America, deal with it . Excuse me I need to pick something up at Walmart.
I will tell you a fact...WalMart is the largest employer in my town...period! Without it, many, many more people would be on Food Stamps and Welfare.
They may not be perfect, but they're successful and they ARE helping the local economy.
When you can write your words so they make sense and I can understand what you are trying to say, then I will respond. Try punctuation for a start... take for example "Yours is the mentality of the people that want to profit off of nothing like welfare sponges you both claim the right to profit off of someone else by not adding value of your own"
Put some punctuation in there, maybe add a few words, I'll re-read it, and maybe it will make more sense.
Not only that, what I kinda somewhat sorta think what you are *trying* to say, has no relevance to what I said in the first place.
