Attention shoppers: your elected officials want you to pay more for goods

I don't know what else to think of this article. Excerpt:

The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a proposed ordinance that could hamper plans by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to build supercenters within city limits.

The council overwhelmingly endorsed a proposal that would require Wal-Mart and other retailers to show that their nonunion discount stores would not hurt jobs, wages or businesses in the surrounding area, as union leaders and competitors claim.

I love the smell of kowtowing to special interests in the morning. It smells like bullshit.

1 Excuse me a minute, I have to go to L.A. and punch some stupid people in the face. I'll be right back...

2 Let me come with you. I'm in a punching-stupid-people kind of a mood.
