- They oppose unionization. They close stores rather than negotiate a contract.
- Unfair competition with small businesses. They've become so big, no one can match their price.
- They are into homogenized globalization. What's good for America is good for the rest of the world.
- Unfair treatment of employees, particularly woman.
- Unfair buying practices. They dictate the price they will pay. They have driven many business owners out of business by demanding low prices, and inferior quality.
- Endorse sweatshop clothing. They've even at times denied this, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary.
- Unfair treatment of non-Christian would-be hires, employees, and makers of products.
- They will take any tax breaks they can get from communities they build in, in spite of being the world's richest retail company and are owned by the world's richest family.
- They've taken on a cavalier "don't challenge us" attitude. They have a security system bigger and better than some countries, and a fleet of high paid lawyers ready to challenge anyone who stands up against them.
- They buy low, sell low, and pay their employees low. They are, by-and-large, pretty low.
LEAVE IT TO PEEVER exists to give the other side of the story. Challenge the status quo. Confront conventional wisdom. This is sadly needed. I believe it is best to always cast positive doubt on the powers that be. It helps to even up the story.Or score. Please feel free to comment and submit articles. Not everything needs to be serious. I use a lot of slapstick humor, satire, and pontificating. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. We're about to embark on a survival adventure.
