Teachers.
Our daily bread may be killing us. Obviously all we can eat now is dirt mixed with a few leaves...
Wal Mart is distressed that the poor are not buying enough of their stuff. Nice that they had time to climb down from that pile of money they're sitting on.

Re: "Teachers":
Both my parents were trained as schoolteachers. My mother taught in the Rio Grande Valley before she and Dad married after W.W.II and (almost immediately) begat me. Eventually, Dad became a schoolteacher for real (and later a counselor), and damn the salary. But one must understand: Dad was able to teach only because Mom was willing to quit teaching, manage the house and rear the kid. There was no other option if they wanted a kid. And if anything, it's worse for today's teachers.
So why do teachers marry each other? Think: who else do they ever see, with a work life like that, but other teachers?
Wal-Mart shouldn't be surprised that sales are down, because their model doesn't include stocking things that people might actually need.
For instance, I needed a space heater because I was having electrical problems with my gas heater.
It was late January. The sales associate assured me that they were only out of oil-filled radiating heaters because it was a "seasonal" item.
Never again. Even if I'm travelling.
Steve, who would understand them better than other teachers? And yes, it is worse today than earlier.
Flying Junior, I hear you on seasonal stuff. I've often found myself unable to get things like fans or bathing suits because the 'season' has passed. Who wants to be buying wool dresses in August anyway?
