Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks

ducomputergeek writes "Cnet News.com is running an article that Wal-Mart plans to launch its own line of notebook computers. I wonder if these will run Lindows or XP. We've purchased a couple low cost boxes with no OS's for cheap file servers and they've worked pretty well."

Agreed - mod parent up

The original poster made valid points about WalMart, an institution that is responsible for widespread labor abuses, social control of its employees, deflating local economies, and spreading the box store culture of underemployment.

1) Cato is full of shit. Rabidly pro-capitalist, to the point of rejecting anything that doesn't fit their world view.
2) The study doesn't address the business cycle. Read what I wrote carefully, and avoid putting up straw men.

Note that nowhere in what I just wrote did I disagree with you specifically, so there's no need to respond with a defense of your arguments. I'm sure they are good arguments, just that they don't apply to what I'm talking about.

Another response to you:

I found these graphs on the web. I really hate to post them, because just like the Cato Institute, the source of these graphs is politically biased, a bad thing when it comes to science. So, don't take these as 100% fact, because I don't represent them as such. I though I might agree with their conclusions, I may or may not agree with their chain of reasoning.

I am just posting these graphs as an example of how the tax rate graph doesn't look like a graph of some economic indicators, much less resemble the business cycle.

OK, I hope that was a good enough disclaimer:
