the senior center? It was under construction, right? And it is awful that it burned, and I wish it hadn't, but it doesn't change my understanding of why it happened, and I wish the PTB would take the struggles of inner city residents seriously. There weren't any residents there, thankfully, like there were employees being paid minimum wage like the employees of Walmart, Chick fil A, etc. Many of those employees come from the same depressed and distressed situations. Most are used for corporate interests while barely being able to support their own families.

I guess I'd like to hear your input on that. Would you stand up for those employees who would lose everything as I've heard others comment about the CVS employees?

Thank you for answering me, 840high. ScreamingMeemie Apr 2015 #13

Your response is garbled and unclear. cwydro Apr 2015 #17

My response was quite clear; it's unfortunate that we can't have this discussion without ScreamingMeemie Apr 2015 #19

OK, I have no idea why you brought employees of Walmart or Chick Fil A into this. cwydro Apr 2015 #20

My take RobertEarl Apr 2015 #8

Thank you RobertEarl. Do you think it's hypocritical that a lot of us are okay ScreamingMeemie Apr 2015 #14

My take RobertEarl Apr 2015 #15

It's not CVS in general, it's this CVS specifically in this neighborhood riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #10

This is interesting for one reason: it skirts a genuine answer. ScreamingMeemie Apr 2015 #12

I'm not skirting your question. I answered it. riderinthestorm Apr 2015 #16

Not much of a comparison at all. Buzz Clik Apr 2015 #18
