Oh man, but the statement of Abbot vs Waltons.
She’s not even one of the actual inner circle Waltons, a married in one, has no real share power to Walmart, just rich as fuck. But I can’t stop laughing at the idea of Abbot getting confused and going after the likes of Alice and such as well.
Fuck, the only thing on the list I’m not is rich and I’m fucking scared of the Southern Baptists.
I expect him to do absolutely nothing to Walmart, sure. I’m just REALLY REALLY hoping that he keeps ranting about them and gets his red hats angry at Walmart like he’s done to other corporations. I expect there won’t be any significant damage to its profits, but if it even tweaks the shareholders a little bit I’ll be over here cackling like a madman.
The only thing I agree with on Trump here is that he’s correctly pointing out that WalMart made billions in profits last year.
That’s pretty much exactly what I was saying. Really my only thing I appreciated is him going after Walmart, and okay, I’ll agree they should eat the profits on the tariffs, Musk may be the richest man, but the Waltons are the richest family and not by far. And yes, the tariffs are gonna suck for all of us and is one of the most mouth dribblingly stupid things that could ever be done. But here we are.
For the people hurting. It sucks. I’m in the same pool too so I’m in the same neck deep madness that’s our current scenario. I’m sorry… I just can’t bring myself to care as I’ve lived in red states full of people voting against their will and despite years of attempting voting outreach, having friends tell me proudly they just didn’t vote even though they’re in more danger of the policies than I… I just kind of threw my hands up on empathy and said fuck it, I’m gonna put on a helmet, hunker down and try to ride out this fucking storm with those that I trust. So right now I’m taking what little pleasure I can through schadenfreude of watching one of the companies that put America right where it’s at currently get its hand bit by the dog it feeds.
BINGO!
Give him more money so he’ll leave him alone? Because that’s exactly what they’ll do.
That or fund the next right wing religious nutjob that’s worse than Trump but loyal to them.
100% This. Walmart is far from the “aw shucks” helping the common man image it wants to portray
Walmart won’t kiss the ring. They supported Trump. The only thing they’ll do is fight him if it looks like they can’t control him.
Walmarts whole thing is driving out competition. They’re the richest company in the world and supported Trump. They asked for this.
Hahaha! This is the ONE time I agree with Trump.
All defending the house that Sam built, it is the richest company in the world by revenue beating out Amzaon and state owned organizations like Saudi Aramco and Chinese controlled organizations. It regularly bullies its way into small towns, demanding tax cuts and the infrastructure to build their stores, run those stores at a loss until all competition is gone then raises prices to squeeze out the area. Then is happy to shut down the “bottom performing stores” leaving a wasteland behind for these towns that lost everything to the mega giant. They’re turning the home town of Bentonville into Austin, even driving out local business for their friends out of Austin.
And the biggest thing is… Project 2025, all of this going on, written by the Heritage Foundation… The Walton Family Foundation is one of the big funders of the Heritage Foundation as well as many of the other Project 2025 advisory board partners. They made it easy to search even! https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/grants-database
I’ve come from its home town, Walmart has always pushed a radical republican conservative agenda. Walmart is not some hapless victim, this is pure 100% leopards dining on some faces that voted for the leopards eating faces party.
Well, individually I’m there with you. What frightens me is they actually have the capability to organize.
Coming from the south, they have an impressive ability to organize (fucking hell, potluck happens and shits on) and by the end they’ll be gathered together for a good rant of racist anger.
Dad talks about when he was a kid the KKK outright coming in full costume to give the tithe to show. The important part he said was that it wasn’t that they were so threatening they could do it, it’s because enough people there agreed with them to not throw them out.
