True, but when working people in Auto Factories earn a high enough wage to live a modest lifestyle on and get good benefits and a pension.
The average full time Walmart Worker is on the other end of the spectrum.
It could be because one is unionized and the other is not, who knows.
The other thing Walmart does is import a huge amount of cheap stuff from China.
I shop at Walmart for a few things and they do provide a service to a lot of people, but there is a downsize of a Walmart coming to town.
Wages are higher in auto plants because cars are much more profitable than groceries and cheap clothes. Unions have little to do with it. Southern auto plants pay very well but are not unionized.
I can't believe I'm seeing this thread on FR. The claim that Walmart is subsidized by the government is an old trope on the left. Is the right going to start parroting leftist talking points now?
And has economic ignorance so deeply permeated the right that crap like this is even entertained?
