Did Costco under cut anybody in Juneau?

And answerlady Dianavan: Did you ever decide how to address the Palestinian's requirement to Jew blood to drink? Think up an imaginary dialog about that.

Hey RD:

You asked and I answered. You call that whining? You are the one that brought it up. You posted the 10,000 number and when did I get hot and bothered about. You falsely accused me of not answering so I had to answer several times. Are you whining about that?

Why don't you take some time off from your false acusations to answer the question about all the employers in Florida that use Medicaid?

Since you brought up Giant:

...Giant has used the Montgomery County Council to make it harder for competitors to do business in Montgomery County, just outside of Washington, DC. I guess that isn't enough. Now Giant and its friends have decided to legally handicap Wal-Mart throught the state of Maryland...
...Which raises the question: how does Wal-Mart manage to attact any employees? There are thousands and thousands of jobs in Maryland outside of Wal-Mart. Given how poorly Wal-Mart allegedly treats its workers, how does the company ever manage to attact employees and keep them?...
...Montgomery County yesterday joined a growing list of jurisdictions around the country that have imposed tougher zoning restrictions on big-box retailers, marking a victory for unions and Giant Food LLC, which joined forces to lobby for the restrictions...
...The council voted, 7 to 0, to adopt zoning rules that allow retailers to open so-called "combination retail stores" -- discount stores of at least 120,000 square feet with a full-service grocery and pharmacy -- only in specific commercial zones and then, only with a special permit...
...The zoning rules essentially subject some big-box stores to an additional layer of review by county officials and provide another opportunity for public input.
While the amendment passed yesterday does not name specific retailers, in practice, it would affect only Wal-Mart Supercenters, SuperTargets, and the supermarket chain Wegmans...
...Duncan lobbied members to vote for his proposal, his spokesman, David Weaver, said. He had help from Giant Food, which sent letters to the council supporting the proposed restrictions...
...Costco Wholesale Corp. hired prominent local land-use attorneys who successfully argued that it should be exempted from the restrictions. Home Depot Inc. organized a last-minute e-mail campaign by its store managers urging council members to exempt home-improvement stores. They are exempt because they don't have grocery stores...
...Which raises the question: how does Wal-Mart manage to attact any employees? There are thousands and thousands of jobs in Maryland outside of Wal-Mart. Given how poorly Wal-Mart allegedly treats its workers, how does the company ever manage to attact employees and keep them?...
...So basically, this regulation protects Giant Food, a mediocre chain that fears the encroachment of the extraordinary Wegman's, from serious competition. That means higher prices and less selection for shoppers...
...the Council didn't ban big-box groceries outright. That leaves open the door for special begging, pleading and lobbying. It really highlights what smart growth is about—legislator as gate-keeper. If you'd like in, love me enough or pay me enough and I'll consider it. Maybe. It's an outrageous way to run a jurisdiction in a democracy. It makes property use and property rights subject to the whim of legislators. What a sad day for the rule of law...
