The Dems are behind it for sure.

We really should bankrupt Walmart to teach them a lesson. If Disney can go down, so can Walmart.

Not for the political bent of their advertising but for their hip attachment with the CCP. When a $1 item is sold at Walmart how do those 100 pennies get distributed? Consider that the vast majority of items sold there are 'Made in China'.....

“We really should bankrupt Walmart to teach them a lesson.”

In 2009 I wrote all of my MBA papers on Walmart because they published an amazing amount of information that was unavailable anywhere else. At the time they were the largest corporation in the world and had an equivalent GDP behind the fifteenth largest COUNTRY, Saudi Arabia. They were the largest private employer in the world. There were fifteen states in which Walmart was the largest single employer. Their policy of selling at volume rather than price had singlehandedly kept inflation in check. They had replaced manufacturing as the entry/training ground for American low capability labor. The average Walmart employee had taken his job there as his first job and that person was forty years old. That average employee kept the job for only 18 months and afterwards had moved on to a better paying job. In other words, he had learned enough skills to find better employment.

Destroying Walmart would be horribly damaging to the US economy and to the ability of people of limited means to live better lives. I can’t remember who said it, but there are two tragedies in life. Not getting what you want, and getting what you want.

Walmart is a hard target given the number of employees and the red state rural areas that depend on it.

You might have some success if you pick one item and boycott that. Auto related purchases might be one.

Typically those are available elsewhere.

My policy towards Walmart is to peel them ONLY for the deals.

If a competitor has a close price, I go to the competitor. I go for the price gouge on Walmart.
