re: #45 Jocko’s Rocket Ship

Did anyone catch the Walmart commercial on NBC’s coverage of the Games tonight where it uses Rush’s Working Man to promote their support of American workers? “Got no time for livin’, working all the time…seems to me I could live my life a lot better than I think I am” is heard as we see images of hard-working factory workers doing their thing.

The corporation with a horrible labor record, that built its empire paying its workers shit, buying cheap China-made products. and with family heirs that have more wealth than the 40% of the nation’s workers combined is extolling the virtues of the American working man with Rush’s Working Man? It’s almost perfect, unintentionally.

I saw the Walmart commercial about how they are totally “bringing jrrbs back” and re-opening manufacturing facilities THAT THEY CLOSED BY MOVING PRODUCTION TO CHINA. And we are supposed to applaud them for this?

FUCK YOU WALMART.
