Big Box Store- Neil Young



Uncle Neil, still angry after all these years, plays with Willie Nelson's boys and their band, Promise of the Real, on the album The Monsanto Years.

By overwhelming margins. polls show Americans want food containing Genetically Modified Organisms labeled as such.  our legislators, ever mindful of raising cash rather than public opinion, have passed laws so GMO's do not need labeling as such.

Why, I feel better already!

Half wits ought not have wars of wits

Wow, Wal-Mart--posssibly one of the most profitable corporations on earth and the gave the 6 heirs to Sam Walton's fortune worth that of the lowest 41.5% of the bottom rungs of their fellow Americans--and Ashton Kutcher got into a Twtitter spat with a Wal-Mart public relations flunky.

[Celebrity actor/producer Ashton Kutcher and retail giant Wal-Mart had a spirited Twitter debate Tuesday over Wal-Mart workers’ wages.
Kutcher (@aplusk) kicked off the dust-up by tweeting about the news that an Ohio Wal-Mart took up an employee-to-employee food charity collection “so Associates in Need can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.”  He wrote, “Walmart is your profit margin so important you can’t Pay Your Employees enough to be above the poverty line?”
Fourteen minutes later, the company’s @WalmartNewsroom account, echoing its replies to others on the topic, tweeted back at Kutcher, “It’s unfortunate that an act of human kindness has been taken so out of context. We’re proud of our associates in Canton.” After 10 minutes, Kutcher shot back, “you should be proud of your associates but I’m not sure if they should be proud of you.”
Wal-Mart then offered Kutcher a video on “Opportunity and Benefits at Walmart,” saying, “We know you believe in opportunity like we do & we’d love to talk to you more about it.”
Kutcher quickly countered, “you had 17 billion in profits last year. You’re a 260 billion$ company. What are we missing?”]  http://www.salon.com/2013/11/20/ashton_kutcher_vs_wal_mart_epic_twitter_clash_rages_over_poverty_wages/
