Owning more wealth than the majority of the country while keeping employees on food stamps is fine. Come after the king, you’re cancelled.
I don’t see a way out of this idiocracy.
If it doesn’t effect them directly, they don’t care - they’re privileged and act accordingly. The more money people get, the more they can isolate themselves from others, the less they empathize. Couple that with a relentless propaganda/echo chamber that’s always at hand, and the good fight becomes a lot harder. These people are so good at mental gymnastics even when conservatives/MAGA act against their own interests.
They must think, “Then they came for me, And there was no one left, To speak out for me” can’t ever apply to them…
No, they don’t think.
Tbf, I think she’s just an heiress, and I’m not sure if she actually has anything to do with the company beyond that.
This is what I saw. She also married into the family and inherited her deceased husbands wealth.
Still obscenely rich, but she has nothing to do with the company
There is only one way out.
I can hear the preview thumbnail
This is awesome. Many of them rely on the low prices of walmart to survive. I can’t wait for them to punish themselves even harder.
Themselves and Walmart. It’s like watching Godzilla fight Mothra, with any luck they’ll both lose
Rodan. Mothra is cool
Mothra is the kaiju GOAT.
I’m pretty sure Mothra is a moth
Gamera would fuck them all up. It’s a giant turtle with jets! Nothing can stop that.
Sure, I don’t actually know Godzilla lore, like at all
Well, you knew Godzilla and Mothra so you are doing something right so far!
Funny that MAGA folks are saying to boycott, there’s some rural towns where Walmart is the only thing that they have lol
They’re gonna eat their own faces now and say “I didn’t mean to be a leopard! It was Bidens fault”
Republicans are retarded
Republicans are removed
If only…
Does it say removed for you? I’ve got the word. Some kind of censor setting?
Im not looking for it, just curious
It’s lemmy.ml that censors it. I see it just fine here.
Thank the mods
the only way WM is going to close stores, if the red counties suddenly starts taxing the stores, which they wont.
Seems the overton window has shifted far enough to the right that walmart execs are now what counts as the left.
I might be mixing her up with someone else, but I think she’s a progressive activist and has never been involved in running the company. She’s not an exec, she’s an heiress.
Shhh, don’t let the MAGAs hear this. It’s hilarious.
They can join me in my almost 30 year boycott of Walmart
Walmart, the biggest corporate welfare queen.
There is no Walmart by me. I’ve been to one probably a handful of times in my life and was amazed at the size and the various products they offered. It was an overwhelming experience.
It’s very convenient and the prices are generally very good. But that’s because they use their size to bully the manufacturers into giving them better deals.
Exactly, also Amazon is the king of these tactics. It is also late-stage capitalism, or better put, crony capitalism. Capitalism is suppose to be about free and open trade, but these predatory tactics make it unfair for competition, especially for medium to small businesses. This is partially why we in the US are in decline…and groceries cost more than they should.
It’s the tariffs that are increasing the cost of food.
Most of those products coming from China where they pay their lowest 50% a wage that is double what our lowest 50% get.
I don’t think this will really amount to much. Where else are they going to shop that abuses labor as much as Walmart to keep prices low?
If I had a dollar for every conservative who threatened to boycott Walmart, I’d have twenty or thirty grand, easy.
Good piss them off make them cry just like their orange bitch baby wannabe king.
I’ve been deliberately dehumanizing Trumpers for long enough that these articles make no sense to me at first. Who cares if a simple creature had an automatic response we’ve all known was common? “Extra extra! Man dangles carrot, horse tries to get it!” It’s a quaint, goofy society that gets excited over that.
I guess trump supporters superficially resemble human beings but I still don’t think it’s newsworthy for them to repeat the sounds we make. Just say floopergoop dinglewhams are progressive! and now the parrots say they hate the thing you just made up. How long until people get bored of this?

About -12 years
It hurt itself in the confusion!
This is a good take on Christy and Walmart and the real reason they are funding the No King events.
Care to summarize so I don’t have to get icky from Insta?
Conspiracy theory guy that loves RFK Jr. He assumes Christy Walton funds anti-Trump ads because Walmart wants to hire illegal immigrants. Actually she’s just a libbed out white woman who lives in southern California and has more money in solar companies than Walmart because most of the Walmart stock bypassed her and went to her oldest son.
As the OP posted, Christy Walton, ie Walmart family, is funding this NO KINGS charade, points to the bottom of the adds showing she is paying for this. He also points out she is worth nearly 20 billion dollars. Do you think Christy is involved in authoritarianism causes or human right abuses? NO! He points out in articles that Walmart is the biggest corporate welfare queen (no shock,) and that they (Christy) are doing this to preserve cheap labor so they don’t have to pay. He compares China’s lowest 50% to ours. China’s lowest 50% holds twice as much wealth as our lowest 50%. He points out China, where we get all our cheap goods, is able to pay their workers, and the US somehow…cant. It is all about corporations, and in this case, Walmart specifically, not wanting to pay a living wage and preserving this.
Edit to add, he also points out the irony of a NO KINGS protest against a KING, funded by an OLIGARCH.

Class traitors are welcome.
Should they be eaten first to spare them the suffering of seeing the rest be devoured, or last to allow them to live as long as possible before their inevitable demise?
Only as long as they are useful.
You just know this rich asshole is really only concerned about how deportations and tariffs are affecting her bottom line.
Edit: Oh no! I’ve made a potentially incorrect assumption about the true intentions of a billionaire. /s
Fuck the rich. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Nah, not that simple. She married a Walton and he died. She inherited like 1.9% of the company but has never been involved in the business. A few people who claim to know her say she’s genuine as well.
Walmart frantically distancing themselves from her is another decent indicator that the company at least doesn’t think this is good for their bottom line, especially when a large segment of customers are already boycotting them for caving to the current administration. If the other side starts boycotting them for not caving to the current administration, that’s a) bad for business and b) very funny.
I love it when the billionaires turn against each other. It confuses MAGA.
Maga is going to be pissed when they find out their boss is a Democrat.
maga mostly depend on WALMART for shopping,
lol, they ain’t turning on Wally World. It’s a vital food source for maga. #fakenews
Maybe they’ll starve themselves.
