| The criticisms of MAGA are fair. The dehumanizing insults of people who shop there really aren't. |
PP. lol, I meant the criticisms of Walmart are fair. The criticisms of MAGA are also fair, but that is a different subject. |
She's not wrong though. The first time I went to a Walmart I had a bunch of stuff in my cart and left it to find something in one of the narrow aisles where carts don't fit. I returned to find that somebody had taken my cart and unceremoniously dumped all my items on the floor. That doesn't happen anywhere else. |

WalMart prices are still good. $8/lb for ground beef is more or less the going price in my area. Not sure what the grocery prices are at our local WalMart but I bet they're more affordable than Harris Teeter or Wegmans. People need to eat, and WalMart is serving a need, especially now.

No why they don't have Walmart's here? Because urbanites can't afford to shop at them.
Like I don't see -Any- retail in my neck of the woods. |
| Does Walmart pay less than Giant and Safeway? |
| Aldi is less expensive and employees are paid well and get health insurance. Costco also treats employees well. These are the stores I choose to shop at. |
DC are 2 or 3 stores. |
Agree. Lesser of two evils. |
DP. Do you not understand that people are struggling to pay their basic bills? You mock someone trying to save $2, but an awful lot of people literally can’t afford their groceries if they don’t save $2 here, and 40 cents there, and $1 there. That whole process of eggs thing has become a joke, but it’s not merely a joke. Things are really, really hard for a lot of people. You want to criticize Walmart’s anti-union, anti-competitive practices? Have at it. But to dismiss anyone who is trying to save money in 2026 —- when more than half of American families are struggling to afford groceries, 4 out of 5 food assistance programs are stretched beyond capacity — is wild. You really sound clueless. |
It’s an a-hole move to be mad at the valuation of Walmart and blame the poor people who shop there. |
I just $8.00 for a pound of ground beef at Wegman's. |
It is a vicious cycle ostensibly created BY the Walmarts of the country. |

It all goes to show we
1.) need to bolster worker protections back up and pay living wages, and 2.) we need to tax big corporations and the billionaires enriched by them a bit more. That much is crystal clear. |
yup yup yup |
