Wal-Mart is bad for America, right? 25,000 people in Illinois don't seem to think so. That's how many people lined up to apply for 325 openings at a new store in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Apparently 25,000 people think they will be made better off working at Wal-Mart than at whatever job, if any, they currently hold.
It's amazing how the largest retailer in America, which continues to provide opportunity for hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers whom otherwise would have lower-paying jobs or no jobs at all, gets bashed on a daily basis by countless politicians, interest groups, and "journalists" in the mainstream media, all of whom have never picked up an economics book in their lives and never think to ask the all-important question: "what's the alternative?"

While we're at it, let's bash Pfizer for all the evil drugs they make. Shame on them for being motivated and earning a profit. We shouldn't have to pay for the cutting edge blood pressure medicine that we have to take because we sat on our ass our whole life and ate hamburgers.
Also, Pat has won the award for typing the longest sentence in the world.
