I know people who lie, cheat, steal and got handed a golden goose. It made them crooks that were lucky, not necessarily successful, but crooks.

You obviously Have heard or understood and word said by the current occupant of the White House.

Matthew 13:15 states: "For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them." This verse reflects the spiritual blindness of the people, indicating a refusal to recognize the truth." Take your own advice lest you become one of the "Brood of vipers and hypocrites. Too Late.

If Gardner had deleted the paragraph beginning with "Lucas goes on to write..." his observation regarding our president would make lots of sense. Otherwise a waste of time.

I wonder if DL believes that Walmart should just eat the tariffs as Trump has suggested ? What should Walmart tell their shareholders ?

@3:24 Americans have made us wealthy and it is time to do what it takes to stick to our company mission statement to save people money so that they can live better because we believe that doing so is an investment in America.

4:10 You are kidding right?

@4:10 pass that joint, Walmarts mission is to return income for their investors

Is Trump going to listen when the poor folks in Kentucky devastated by tornados call for help? When Arkansas screamed for help, he left them hanging.

4:48 & 5:26 I have an MBA and Walmart has been in the loss-leader business for a long time. They will sell a Chinese 4K TV for $100 so you will also buy the PlayStation5 GTA 6 bundle from them for $600

Marketing 101, when you sell that bundle you increase you margins, your not giving anything away.

As I write this, there are nine comments to this post. Four comments are anti-Trump screeds, one of which, out of thin air, pulls Wal-Mart into the discussion. Next is an apparent Wal-Mart insider/employee who politely informs the anti-Wal-Mart imbecile of Wal-Mart's mission statement. Two dopeheads show up begging for somebody else's dope (Get a job and bring your own, beggars!), and a MBA appears politely informing the imbecile of an important part of Wal-Mart's business strategy. It is unclear what the very first comment is referencing due to its incoherence, but it might be another anti-Trump screed. Now, I show up to point out the post was about listening comprehension. Let's give Gardner some credit for taking time to instruct the JJ community on the benefits of listening comprehension since reading comprehension is batting less than .500 here.

PS - It wasn't about Trump!

Re: Walmart
They and other retailers could pass along a temporary add-on Tarriff fee on Chinese goods, perhaps. As for listening and anger, no need to listen to some, like Lamumba, Schumer, Comey, Pelosi, MSM and most other democrats, their history of lies and obfuscation precede them.
And Anger relieves stress.

I have worked with Walmart as a Broker for over 30years. Trust me there is no such thing as a lost leader in their marketing program, they barely sell at cost and only do so with meat and other foods that are code dated. It’s a for profit business. They have never wavered from Sam’s mission to make money.

You're right, there's no such thing as a 'lost' leader - but a loss leader, uhmm yeah.
