About two years ago, Stewie Walton, a Walmart heir, made an anouncement he would give anyone from out of state who Is an IT professional, $5,000 and a Walmart bicycle to relocate to Arkansas and work at Walmart HQ because "Arkansans are not sophisticated enough to work in cutting edge technology" LOL
@GoatRoper aren't the type of bicycles sold at Walmart generally crap? Maybe they've got better in recent years, but have been the butt of jokes for decades amongst cyclists (and many IT professionals do enjoy riding bikes both for commuting and leisure)
Store #4 was in my home town in Arkansas when they first opened as Wal-Mart. They had bins on tables with defective underwear where the leg holes were different sizes and the elastic was stretched out. We used to insult someone by saying, "you are so stingy, you buy your underwear at Wal-Mart"
All the merchandise was factory rejects.
The only reason we went there was for the free popcorn 🍿Sometimes, Mr. Walton pushed the popcorn machine out on the sidewalk.
@GoatRoper for some years Walmart took over the British ASDA supermarkets, but they've pretty much walked away from it (reduced their stake to 10%) and there's far fewer non-food products than they used to have (they've mostly given up that section of the market to Amazon UK)
On top of that the child might get married off because child marriage is still legal in parts of the US, they could be forced to sacrifice schooling to work and they won't even get paid a decent wage for the sacrifice.
They did the baby bonus in Australia and other countries and it never worked out well.
Yes. Very true. They tried it in every country. It doesn't work because people don't 'decide to make a baby' for money. That's dumb. Women (and couples) have to feel safe.
It seems to have influenced the decision for quite a number of poorer people. I don't know if they were already considering it, but it lead a lot more children being born into poverty.
Due to that money being "wasted" or otherwise not spent on the child restrictions ended up being put in place.
It's really unfortunate. But yeah for most it probably won't make a difference. I have a child in this world, not even if you paid me millions.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Paste, is in fact, Surfactant/Paste, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Surfactant plus Paste. Paste is not a dental hygiene system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning ADA system made useful by the ADA corepastes, brush utilities and vital floss components comprising a full HS as defined by BOFA.
