[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walmart has surpassed a TRILLION dollars in valuation.

We are a nation of mouthbreathers. Literally the WORST company on earth, with the worst customers on earth, is now the most valuable company on earth.

I hate this country and the people in it so much I think my head is going explode one day. [/quote]

I sometimes shop at Walmart and I am a very nice person.  Prices on some items that I use are $2/$3 cheaper at Walmart than at local grocery stores.  [/quote]

Well, as long as you save $2 anything goes![/quote]

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. [/quote]

It is a vicious cycle ostensibly created BY the Walmarts of the country. [/quote]

PP. Yes.

I am simply saying we must differentiate between the corporation and the human beings who rely on the corporation. [/quote]

DP and I agree with you.  Walmart sucks.  Their business model is profitable but their practices hurt a lot of regular people.

There is no perfect system and capitalism certainly isn't one.  Too many bad actors in the world.  That is why we do need some government regulation in a capitalist system.  Pure capitalism will always hurt those at the bottom.

I also agree with many PPs that it is frustrating as f*ck that these same people vote for the GOP which will only help the Walmarts of the world and never themselves.  [/quote]
