Can Costco Save America's Malls?

I'd never been to Costco before and thought I'd drive twenty miles and check it out, I suppose I'm just sn old fool but when they stopped me going in and wanted me to pay them 50 bucks for the opportunity to buy from their warehouse I turned around and went back to Krogers.

What a business model, pay me and I'll let you purchase my goods.
No thanks

Let's Hope the Auto Bailout Has Failed for Good

Starting wages for workers at Toyota's San Antonio Tundra pickup plant, which opened in 2006, began at $15.50 an hour and are scheduled to grow to $21 an hour in 2009. And assembly workers at the company's planned Prius factory near Tupelo, Miss., are expected to earn $20 an hour when it opens in 2010 (Transplant wage `parity' issue derails bailout, Lindsay Chappell. Automotive News, 12/12/08).

Kind of eye opening…

Wow those wages are very high aren't they? Don't worry though once the big bad UAW is gone the foreign automakers can cut those wages down to WALMART levels, isn't that what all the fatcats and jealous a##holes out there really want.
