“Walmart pays almost twice the federal minimum wage.”

Don’t stop him. He’s on a roll. My brother worked there for a while as a shelf stocker. The average Walmart pay for what he did is $14.00 an hour. They also paid his college tuition. So this evil company pays twice the minimum wage and will pay for you to better yourself. Terrible. The government needs to come in and run Walmart. Maybe they can determine a fair profit for the company and set the pay scale so that it’s more equitable.

But almost all their non management workers work short shifts and are enrolled in the usual government “gimme dat” programs.

They and other “gateway job” employers are heavily subsidized by the taxpayers.......since our population pyramid has become a column...and these jobs are career cappers for the economically displaced.
