I like Whole Foods a little more now

[Kraven251]

I buy quite a bit of fresh bread there. The majority of their baked goods are the same price range as anywhere else and if you don't have to go out of your way to find one, the quality in my experience has been superior.

They have a decent fish monger too.

My brother used to be the fish monger at a Whole Foods in Kansas City. He said it was the best big company he's ever worked for by far.

I don't have any problems with Whole Foods per se -- the business is run well, they have happy employees and their products are generally high quality. Their products are also generally overpriced but they're just charging what the market will bear and the tree-hugging granolas will pay beaucoup bucks for anything marked "organic" so why not liberate them of some of their green? I don't shop there much -- usually just the salad bar or hot bar when I'm too tired to cook dinner for myself and want some variety from the Chinese buffet or other take-out -- but then again, I'm not willing to pay 3x as much for something just because it says "organic" on it.

Thats not the definition of fascism. Fascism at its most base level is when corporations and gov are one in the same. Meaning that corporations own and control the gov. Words have real meanings.

Me thinks Mackey's shorthand argument of Obamacare being more Fascist than Socialist is much closer to correct than your statement.

It is fascist in the fact that thanks to years and years of supreme court rulings by corrupt judges, that corporations are entitled to the same rights as living citizens and can give as much money to our gov officials elections as they want. So yeah... thanks judges that ruled for "citizens united", it paved the way for the health insurance industry to buy our gov and get that turd sandwich Obama care law.

But as to the definition, that is Mussolini definition of fascism as it was practiced by Italy the original fascist gov that coined the term. It is the marriage of business and gov with business controlling the gov.

People need to learn the definitions of words and use them the right way. Otherwise it makes the horrendous things of the past which have lessons to teach us today and in the future, meaningless.

OR meaning that government owns and controls the corporations. Lefties always seem to spin the definition of Fascism against their current enemies (capitalists and conservatives) all the while ignoring the fact that most Fascist and Communist systems are similar to one another (to the point of being almost indistinguishable) and more similar to what "progressives" and liberals want than Fascism is to true free market capitalism (which is what most conservatives want).

But as to the definition, that is Mussolini definition of fascism as it was practiced by Italy the original fascist gov that coined the term. It is the marriage of business and gov with business controlling the gov.

Italian (and by extension German) Fascism was more about government controlling business, not business controlling government. Again, you lefties keep missusing "Fascist" as a means of attacking free market capitalism (and by extension, freedom in general).

The dirty little secret you're trying to hide is that the modern "progressive" Democrat is more in line with Mussolini's Fascist party or Hitler's Nazi party than those evil, dastardly Repthuglicans you hate so much.

If the gov owns or controls the corporations, that makes it communism. Again learn the meanings of words. It helps all humanity in the long run.

[nynco]

Hitlers Germany and Muslin's Italy were far different forms of gov. The common thread they shared was they were authoritarian in nature. If you want to talk about the root commonality of the two then use the term "Authoritarian".

Now Mussolini went so far as to make ruling bodies in each region headed by the local captains of industry. Much the same way that our current bunch of dirt bag politicians have our laws written by the same captains of industry that they are supposed to be regulating. Or ... how those same corporations are sending their guys to run things like the EPA or the FDA. A perfect example is Geitner... that wunder banker turd.

Fascists were also FIERCELY anti liberal and anti communist. So the fact that people confuse the two as being one in the same definition wise is just laughable. Sadly not in a good way.

"Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and economic sphere." Mussolini http://www.publiceye.org/fascist/corporatism.html

Whole Foods - aka - Whole Paycheck, is filled with libtards that shop there. However, most of the employees I know are good people. I buy meats and a few other things there.. but I don't do all my shopping, no way I could afford it.. I can drop $100 and walk out with only 1 bag.

Health care costs ARE going to rise.. the dems are so stupid.
