Wal-Mart finally achieved the lowest possible price. Free. Whatever was available at this historically low price sold out quickly. I mean, how do you pass up a deal like this? How do mom and pop stores compete?
I captured this scene on my camera phone a few weeks back. I’ll keep my eye open for more bargains like this, and pass them onto you, so we can share in the savings.

Walmart doesn’t pay its Chinese, Indonesian or Malaysian workforces at all, and passes the savings on to you.
I don’t believe it. Without that smiley rollback face, it’s just not possible.
Excuse me, Tim? You expect me to care about Chinese, Indonesian, and Malaysian workforces? Not only are the Chinese a bunch of pinkos, but I have no idea where to find Indonesia and Malaysia on a globe. Crisis of conscience solved.
Believe it, Andrea!
That is seriously verging on some philosophical commentary-type shit. Because nothing is free, man! They’re getting at the heart of human suffering, man! Deep.
Your reading on this, Evan, makes sense to me on so many levels.
And yet, just like the zeroes in Wal-Mart’s sign, I feel hollow inside.
Maybe I’m a zero.
Maybe… we’re all zeroes.
