Much too warm out to write – doing research – that is more than enough for now. Made that dreaded WalMart run this AM.
Was a necessity–didn’t feel to great being in there especially after last nights Dateline. The outsource-ing/ultra cheap labour of the Gap-K-Mart and yes, the dreaded WalMart in Bangledesh. A pair of women’s pants that cost us $12.94–the woman who made them earns that much in one week. $.17 per hour. The woman earns $12.94 weekly for working 70 hours weekly. About $400 yearly- she makes in one year what I do in one month, and I barely exist on that. Reminds me of the phrase – I complained that I had no shoes – until I met a man without any feet.
I am rambling – but that’s how I get – when I see/hear things that go on that I do not know what I can do to make a difference. Just prayers-lots of them and speaking out wherever I am able. T.Y.G.S.
