I like to take flights out of Palomar when available.
Very convenient. As far as I’m concerned, there should be more smaller aircraft flights at Palomar to relieve the congestion at Lindberg.Sorry but too bad for the people who live nearby. They should have known.
February 15, 2008 at 3:36 PM #153872BubblesitterParticipantHere’s an update on the Walmart in Carlsbad in today’s UT.
3 Dozen protesters at the site in the rain yesterday. It was a cold rainy day.
Anyone ever hear of an upscale Walmart? Nicer cheap Chinese goods?

February 15, 2008 at 11:48 PM #154100Diego MamaniParticipantThe anti-Walmart arguments are so ridiculous…
(1) “They pay low wages.” Well, if they were low, nobody would accept to work for them. The truth is that WM hires many people who would be otherwise unemployable (single mothers who have been on wlefare for too long, etc. A job, even an entry-level one, gives them dignity and gives them the skills to search for better jobs in the future.
(2) “They sell low quality goods.” If that were true, then why are WM stores so full of people buying there? WM sells merchandise at low prices, which make families’ incomes go farther. Is that bad?
What’s really insulting to some of us is that the anti-WM groups want to influence local and regional giovernments to keep the stores from opening. Such government interference in the market stinks of communism. People who dislike free markets and competition so much should consider what happened to the USSR (failed and collapsed) and Cuba (the poorest, weakest country in the hemisphere).

February 16, 2008 at 1:30 AM #154125pepsiParticipantAgreed with Diego Mamani.
When you go to Costco, it is easier to see that the employees seem to be smarter, young and good looking.
Costco didn't pay extra money for nothing and Walmart couldn't cut their price if they don't use those people.
Rejecting Walmart just deprives low wage people from their working chance. Also lower tax revenue for the city.
The end result will be higher tax, more people on unemployment aid and a bi-polar society.
