Walton was furious. The mechanization of agriculture had finally reached the backwaters of the Ozark Plateau, where he was opening one store after another. The men and women who had formerly worked on small farms suddenly found themselves redundant, and he could scoop them up for a song, as little as 50 cents an hour. Now the goddamn federal government was telling him he had to pay his workers the $1.15 hourly minimum. Walton's response was to divide up his stores into individual companies whose revenues didn't exceed the $250,000 threshold. Eventually, though, a federal court ruled that this was simply a scheme to avoid paying the minimum wage, and he was ordered to pay his workers the accumulated sums he owed them, plus a double-time penalty thrown in for good measure. Wal-Mart cut the checks, but Walton also summoned the employees at a major cluster of his stores to a meeting. "I'll fire anyone who cashes the check," he told them. Besides its Dickensian shock value, this story -- told by Nelson Lichtenstein in his new book about Wal-Mart -- points to a phenomenon of wider significance. The company that was willing to break the law to avoid paying the minimum wage is now the largest private-sector employer in the nation and the world, with 1.4 million employees in the United States and 2 million overall, more than 6,000 stores, and revenues that exceed those of Target, Home Depot, Sears, Kmart, Safeway, and Kroger -- combined. By virtue of its size and its mastery of logistics, Wal-Mart is able to demand low prices from its thousands of suppliers and thus inflict low wages on their employees. Its low prices have also forced reductions in wages and benefits at the unionized supermarkets with which it threatens to compete. As the unionized General Motors was big enough to set the pattern for the employment of nonprofessional Americans in the three decades following World War II, Wal-Mart is now so big it is setting the pattern today. Each created a distinct national buying public for its goods that was far larger than its immediate work force: in GM's case, workers who could afford to buy new cars; in Wal-Mart's, workers who could afford to shop nowhere except Wal-Mart. With Wal-Mart's rise, the same traditional values that underpinned Sam Walton's cheating and threatening of his workers -- contempt for Yankee laws and regulations, and a preference for the authoritarian, low-wage labor system of the South -- have become more the norm than the exception in America's economic life. http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=in_walmarts_image The result is an unprecedented migration of high-paid executives to the northwest corner of Arkansas -- professionals from amenity-rich cities like New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Miami, who bring not only their six-figure salaries, but an appetite for Jaguars, sushi, pet day-care centers, Gucci shoes and Chanel sunglasses. In Rogers, just north of Bentonville, nattily dressed executives from Kellogg Co. and Colgate-Palmolive Co. sip lattes and lunch on cold Thai salmon at the Market, a gourmet grocery store that offers sushi-making lessons. Up the street, at Murphy's Jewelry, the latest Versace fashion show flickers on a flat-panel television and $100,000 necklaces glimmer from behind a glass case. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/26/AR2005062600899.- html

What about architects? Since Mike Brady drove ChryCo products, it's hard to do an apples and apples comparison to Maj. Nelson and Darrin Stevens. Well in the pilot episode, Mike Brady had a Dodge Monaco. Can't remember now if it was a hardtop or convertible, but it had power windows, so it was pretty upscale. In price/prestige, I'd say that would trump Darren's Camaro or Tony's GTO. Didn't Roger Healey drive a Firebird? Those other cars would be more youthful and trendy, though. Mike Brady also had the money to get a new car every year. For some reason I can only picture Tony with that blue '66-67 GTO. Did he ever get a newer one? What did Mr. Douglas on "My Three Sons" do for a living? He always had the money to get a new Pontiac wagon every year, although in later seasons I think they switched to Ford?

Does that mean that astronauts were paid more than advertising executives? What about architects? Since Mike Brady drove ChryCo products, it's hard to do an apples and apples comparison to Maj. Nelson and Darrin Stevens.
Some Surprised By 'Clunker' Tax

What the Fed giveth the state taketh away. "That means they need their title, their damage disclosure, their bill of sale and the dealers have 30 days to get that to them," Minnehaha County Treasurer Pam Nelson said. But many of those cashing in on the clunkers program are surprised when they get to the treasurer's office windows. That's because the government's rebate of up to $4500 dollars for every clunker is taxable. http://www.keloland.com/NewsDetail6162.cfm?Id=0,89084

I think these 2 Canadians have no clue about 'break in' or any other aspect of the new TDI Sportwagon they are driving. More like a way to get your expenses paid for a nice vacation. They seem more interested in "Lunch" than how the new VW is performing vs how they are driving it. This yarn would be much more interesting had the Jetta not already broken more than one record for mpgs, and fastest time Coast to Coast on 82 gallons, in the "Willy Run" can't imagine what that car smelt like after 38 steady hours of driving like mad men by a couple of Willy Nelson fans. "VW Jetta TDI Sets New World Record: 58.82 MPG" - TDIClub Forums (That's 70 mpg the way mpgs are calculated on the window stickers in Canada.)

I agree that a big-picture/scientific/long-term approach can be useful and interesting to consider, especially if we have the worthwhile goal of reducing oil imports instead of the scam/red-herring/snipe-hunt goal of reducing CO2 output. So I think your analyses & points seem possibly related to this question which I think should be of great interest for USA national security, and which President Obama may have Willie Nelson researching right now: Q: what is the optimal distribution/% of diesel vs gas engines in the US passenger fleet, in terms of minimizing oil imports without causing diesel shortages. A: Isn't it "obvious" that we'd do better with at least a few % more diesel cars relative to gassers, thus reducing oil imports, and without causing a diesel shortage/price-runup?
