No criticism of Obama now, deserved or not. He is, after all, the Messiah....
If you do, thou shalt be deemed racist.
Nice.

NONE of this was a bountiful gift from the management."
Detroit has a 17.7% unemployment rate (http://www.economist.com/world/unitedstates/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11920743)
You can put all the blame on management if you would like, but in a world where they are forced to compete against companies that don't have to use unionized labor, (and where their unions continue to make foolish demands while ignoring the realities of the economic climate) the reality is that the unions have done their fair share to destroy the U.S. Auto industry just as much as management has.
So while you are patting the unions on the back, those former union employees are busy losing their jobs and collecting $335/week unemployment.

Um...only one place makes REAL pizza.
Chicago.
All the others are "wannabees." Sorry, guys, you got plenty of other cool stuff, but we got the lock on pizza.

@ Parker:
Agreed. I still will not shop there, but perhaps a little less venom from me.
Just a little. :)

I am certainly not a "fan boy" of Wal-mart...in fact, I hate much of what they do. From their destruction of small local companies, to their failure to police their own parking lots to the outrageous quantities of imports from China.
That said, it is easy to become jaded about the bad they do that we fail to see the good (however little there is...oops...there I go again) they have done and continue to do.
Here is an article I ran across. A bitter pill for me to swallow, but reminds me to try to keep an open mind about Wally World.

@ Lala,
It's an exothermic reaction meaning it gives off or releases heat. So it would be hotter than the surrounding environment.
