As the world becomes more global, top level jobs will go to people that are global as well. Are these people still going to support globalization when jobs they want are going to foreigners?CMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230361937701865420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-46857994520206425842008-04-13T14:53:00.000-06:002008-04-13T14:53:00.000-06:00Dr. Tufte,It seems so simple of a concept, yet so ...Dr. Tufte,<BR/>It seems so simple of a concept, yet so many Americans seem to not understand basic economics. Even educated people do not understand the concept of demand and supply. I think that every American should have to take some economic class in high school so that they can understand these basic principles.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091219498842177845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-64556117638611928312007-09-23T18:08:00.000-06:002007-09-23T18:08:00.000-06:00Amen!

I hate how every article about Wal-Mart acts like there is this bus that drives around the cities in America and forces at gun point consumers and employees to either shop or work at its stores. Sure the company makes mistakes, but, in general, Wal-Mart does a great job at providing products to consumers at discount prices and at providing good paying jobs for employees.

I also found it interesting that it's not only the poor families or those in the low-income bracket that are shopping at Wal-Mart. The wealthy are there as well, seeing how great of a deal they can get on groceries and general hygiene needs. <BR/>This article also mentioned that Wal-Mart Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010253463144367481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-11278583879450016892007-09-13T22:46:00.000-06:002007-09-13T22:46:00.000-06:00By Jove I think you've got it!By Jove I think you've got it!Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.com
