Walmart employs members of the community. They bear some of the responsibility for why our community is so prosperous.

You mean part time workers who don't get benefits by design, who depend on social welfare programs despite having a job, and who can't get work anywhere else because Walmart killed all the local businesses?

"Prosperous." Please. If walmart packed up and left you'd be fucked. Especially if they are heavily responsible for your "prosperity." It's a dependent relationship that traps you all in a financial cage. Walmart is a parasite, and we've known this for a long time.

You have no idea what you're talking about and it shows.

Believe what you want. The facts are clear.

[-] gradual@lemmings.world -4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. The facts are clear.

The fact is I wouldn't have even moved here if there wasn't a Walmart.

The fact is, most useful idiots are proud to pay more while doing mental gymnastics to think they're getting a better deal.

The fact is, I genuinely don't respect most of your financial advice because most of you people spend money like morons while complaining you need more.

Gonna ignore you now because this isn't up for debate.

You moved somewhere for Walmart?

And what financial advice did I give? I don’t know jack about your finances dude. That would be mighty presumptuous

None of this addresses the core issues with Walmart. Did you even look at the above sources?

Jesus who simps for Walmart
