40. Walmart is evil

Mon Dec 15, 2025, 07:39 AM

Monday

I did many papers and projects in college dealing with their tactics to decimate mom and pop local stores in small communities. One of my favorite comparisons was, Ford paid his employees well enough so that they could afford his vehicles, Walmart pays their “associates” enough that they can’t buy anything but their products. They also tutor them on how to use federal programs for food aid and other assistance. Not to mention their treatment of their “partners”, ie. vendors, and their demand on local infrastructure.

Don’t shop there! Bad people who care only about their bottom line!
