But how can that be? All Walmart is, is a huge multi-national corporation that fucks everyone up the ass and only cares about profits. And all churches do is try to indoctrinate everyone with their beliefs and try to change this country into a theocracy.

Government is the answer to every single problem we face. Fuck God, money, churches, businesses, and all those other evil right-wing fascists.

They got in there and started helping people. Which, as you can see, gives Thorgrim a major nervous tick.

At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, as New Orleans filled with water, Wal-Mart chief executive H. Lee Scott Jr. called an emergency meeting of his top lieutenants and warned them he did not want a "measured response" to the hurricane.

"I want us to respond in a way appropriate to our size and the impact we can have," he said, according to an executive who attended the meeting. At the time, Wal-Mart had pledged $2 million to the relief efforts. "Should it be $10 million?" Scott asked.


Over the next few days, Wal-Mart's response to Katrina -- an unrivaled $20 million in cash donations, 1,500 truckloads of free merchandise, food for 100,000 meals and the promise of a job for every one of its displaced workers -- has turned the chain into an unexpected lifeline for much of the Southeast and earned it near-universal praise at a time when the company is struggling to burnish its image

watch the video i linked. they were one of the first responders, sending in truckloads of water and ice...yes their prices were dropping. it was free!

on top of that, they still had record profits for that yr (maybe less than they expected) and they continued to be a top company.

That link has nothing to do with what I posted and only shows how you know nothing about the left.
