Why Walmart fails at online shopping

I wanted to see what other Tazo teas Walmart carries in the store.  So, I googled and this is what I got.

The search says that Walmart sells it for $4.58, and this is about $2 more than the store's price?


And, Target's information is correct.

I can pick this up from one of the local Walmarts for the $4.58.

Isn't this pretty stupid?

This is why I don't order anything online from Walmart.  Just idiotic and dumb.  Dumb people run Walmart online.

So many questions with this Hurricane Harvey

So many questions with this Hurricane Harvey. One thing for sure, Steve Harvey didn't do it.

Why weren't people in nursing homes, hospitals, and people with limited mobility evacuated? Are evacuations easier after the flood?

Weren't there enough buses? Are these buses now all flooded and damaged? Where were the families of these nursing homes? Why didn't they get their loved ones out of these places?

Why don't these hurricane prone areas like Houston have large capacity flood control management. Netherlands have these.

Prepare for once in 500 year flood? I assume the government bodies don't want to pay for the build and the maintenance. So, should individuals build flood proof houses? Is best help the self help also true in this situation?

What happened to the contraflow highway? Texas spent money on these contraflows and didn't used it.

Government Protecting People? Really?

Today, an article written by The Telegraph titled, "Apple iTunes flaw 'allowed government spying for 3 years'" shows whether or not government entities in general are there to protect people.  Let's put aside the Apple Inc. for a moment.  Let's assume that the Apple is a bad company that didn't protect its consumers from potential security threat.  However, here we have a situation where governments knew about this for 3 years since 2008, and government entities used iTune's security flaws to snoop on other people by using the software called FinFisher developed by Gamma International (UK) who sells hacking services to governments.  "It is known to be used by British agencies and earlier this year records were discovered in abandoned offices of that showed it had been offered to Egypt’s feared secret police."


So, who is protect who?  Government officials always act outraged when they find something like this out.. They want an immediate investigation.  Sometimes, they send out letter like when Senator Charles Schumer of NY, USA sent out a letter to Steve Jobs about iPhone's antenna problem.
