Do you shop in WalMart or in some unionized store chain like say SafeWay?
Needless to say I avoid “Organic Food” chains like say Whole Foods. These are for suckers.
When it comes to the decision of patronizing a business one must consider quality/price ratio, which basically boils down to productivity and basically what an employee cares about the bottom line. Once there is a union there is shIthole too. Work rules men work produce no value entire conutry becomes pseudo-liberal, marxist actually .
I agree with you 100%, my friend.
In addition to the points you raise, it is worth noting that Whole Foods actually supports terrorism.
