Perfect Synergy and Symmetry

Remember when it used to be that the wealthy people had their country clubs and everyone wanted to belong and go there and exclude all the other "little people"? And it lasted forever. There have always been groups created to exclude other people and/or groups. It's always been that way.

Well, it occurred to me today, after driving to work the same way every work day, that just the opposite "perfect place" has been created for the lower social and economic levels of our society.

Surely you've noticed the perfect marriage when McDonald's restaurants have started locating in--yes, in--and around Wal-Mart stores?

Isn't that magnificent? You couldn't get better zoning if you legislated it. Really, that's magnificent. What better place to put these 2 organizations and their customers than side by side? Or, better yet, as I said, one INSIDE the other. Man, that's perfect.

One has horrible food that's absolutely bad for you, almost completely, while the other virtually abuses its employees. Talk about perfect. One exploits its employees to make money while the 2nd takes that same money and gives them fatty, unhealthy foods to "reward" them for that same hard work.

Even their logos are similar and work together.

I think Wal-Mart should buy McDonald's, personally, and marry the two even closer. It just doesn't get any better than that.

So now the underclass has a place to go to both shop and eat. Perfect. Like I said, it's the complete "Country Club" for the lower class. All they need now is a swimming pool.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
