I've been a huge Wal-Mart hater myself (I am, after all, a small businessman) but they have, so far, given 40 MILLION DOLLARS to the hurricane relief.

Big ups to yall rich bitches.

I saw yr. boy T. Boone Pickens on Larry King, goading people into writing checks. Said he had given $5mil out of his own pocket, and would do another $1mil if he thought it owuld help open up some pocket books.

Hell, I even wrote a check for Busty so his company would match it, and I don't give money to ANY causes.

I guess people will only give what they can. I only gave $50 but I wish I could give more.

shit i donated a whole paycheck from my second job for this. and i'm a poor miserable bastard.

i hate walmart but big ups to them. they have been doing a lot to try to rehabilitate their corporate image. hopefully it is more than marketing. most towns around Portland are refusing to allow wal mart to move in over the past couple of years.

Haaaaaaaaa...... Yeah, even the normally tight-assed check books of Sun State have been opened up to the tune of a couple Grrrr so far.


I also raised a decent amount during Bingo last night (shit, should I post the playlist?) though I openly lied about matching everbody's donations......c'mon!

Remember when we took up that collection for 9/11 victims and then almost stomped that dude for trying to say we weren;t gonna send the money on to charity?

good times.

Yeah.....

Though I did pilfer some of that cash so Busty and I could get some fresh new gear.....

But I made up for it with a fresh corporate check.

I'm not saying it happens, but in my business, people allegedly do things like this all the time. All Alleged, of course.

Walmart is also giving employees of the company JOBS wherever they relocate or spend the next couple of months. Office Depot is doing the same

I should fucking OWN Office Depot I spend so much there.

But good on them; I'm pretty proud of some of these companies----we should ship some of these THEM to India to work......

Wow, this thread just made my day. It just made me really happy reading it.

40 million or health benefits for employees.....

i wonder which is cheaper?

I hate Wal-Mart.

I am a commie.

$40 million is good though.

Free Tibet!

What are they paying?

fp

40 million from walmart doesn't impress me. they netted 40 million on chewing gum sales today i imagine.

what have you given so far dumbfuck?

I'd guess nothing because Buster's like you probably dont have the accumen to think bigger than getting a handout.

Fuck you.

why did 'buster's' get a capitol b there? and i guarantee you that my donation represents a higher percentage of my gross income than does walmart's.

glad to hear/see walmart helping out in a time of need with their large contributions, etc

i could do without the snide comments from thrillhouse though

Yeah, it sucks when sorry ass folks politicize some real shit.

but thats cool-----Yo Thrillhouse, lets squah it dog. Ill match you $ for $ and lets get the Obner fund started.

I'll pledge $100 out of my pocket if one of you inter-smart folks people can get it going.

People have their opinions just like you do. Just agree to disagree and let's move on.

And I've already done all the donating I'm going to do, so I'll have to say, no thank you, to your pledge.

I sent a measly $50 to Busty, which will equal $100, but fuck it, if we wanna start an obner fund drive, I'll match Yail's $100.

You don't buy relief materials with percentages; you buy them with fucking dollars. $40M will buy a whole lot more than any of us could possibly hope to provide.

how much money does the walton family invest in having the leaders who ignored the problem elected? hmm?
