Wal-Mart grouses today to the New York Times about the economic recovery. Yeah, sure, lots of new jobs are being created but too many of those job are low-paying jobs and people in low-paying jobs can't afford to buy crap at Wal-Mart—you know, Wal-Mart, the huge retailer and "the world's most profitable company" where the pay is so low that thousands of the company's own employees are on food stamps and pubic assistance and can't afford to buy crap at Wal-Mart or other retailers? Wal-Mart is bitching about other companies and their lousy, low-paying jobs.

Reading that made me wanna go to Arkansas and punch a landmark of Hudson River School landscape painting.
