Good Capitalists should organize a MeetUp.Com Shopping Spree!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

If you can't beat them, join them! Let's start a Meetup for a nation-wide Shopping Spree. We'll choose a Shopping Target - let's say Walmart - and a Target Product - let's say Fire Extinguishers - and a Target Price - let's say $10 off the regular price.

Everyone around the country masses at the Walmart nearest them for big collective market negotiations. We will use our power as a crowd of Consumers to negotiate a lower price from the Shopping Target for buying the Target Product - and we won't give up until we do!

It's like a Capitalist Smart Mob using the power of Collective Bargaining to Save Save Save!

1. Walmart is evil

Won't buy a thing from them unless my nephews' entertainment is threatened.

2. look on the bright side

If we negotiate a price lower than their costs, in the long run it will make them lose money.

3. I'd rather support a nationwide boycott of Walmart

That'd get 'em losing money a whole lot faster... and would support those workers in California (and elsewhere) who are smack in the middle of the race for the bottom that Walmart is leading.

We'd need to start tabulating advertising on Fox News and contributions to Repubs/right-wing, identify those companies who've sent jobs overseas, and support others.

4. why on earth would they

accept a price below their costs? it makes no sense.

5. They do it all the time..

to drive their small business competitors out of business,,,then jack up the prices.
