Both contribute to liberal causes, Amazon more, yet with Amazon Smile a % can be donated to a charity you choose.
Walmart often is cheaper, such as for basics in food, appliances, etc. but is very often out of stock, or lacks items or much of a variety. Plus its 3rd party seeker can be very high, and its web site could be much improved. Amazon can be also.
Thank God though for such options and funds to make use of them, after charity.
The Walmarts in our area have a good selection and most of the time the items we want are in stock. They are considerably cheaper than the other grocery stores unless you are good at shopping the sales. It is surprising that things like dog food and dog treats are often much cheaper at Amazon than any of the grocery stores.
Walmart's webpage is nowhere near as good as Amazons, but once you figure out how to navigate and search it is not that bad. I much prefer getting "black Friday" specials through their webpage than by going to their store.
The thing that I appreciate about the Walmarts in our area is that they all hire older folks and many others who in the past at least, would have had a difficult time finding a job at other places.
Our daughter worked at Walmart for a couple of years and she liked it. They were extremely flexible with her. She was going to school working on her masters degree in accounting and raising two of our grandchildren. Her husband was working full time. Her supervisors at Walmart bent over backwards to accommodate her needs. She also had the option to transfer to any other Walmart if she chose to go to a different school, not to mention that Walmart helped with some of her educational expenses.
Amazon has great selection, competitive prices and unbelievably fast shipping. Usually they are a little more expensive than Walmart on non-electronic items. I appreciate that they give people the opportunity to deliver goods in our area using their own vehicles and completely picking their own schedule. I signed up to do that to earn a little extra money, but never actually did deliver any items because I have been too busy fixing up two different houses. The pay was approximately $20 an hour minus the expense of using your own vehicle.
One of my cousins is in his 80s and has been working seasonally for Amazon for years when he and his wife go to Arizona in the winter. He does not really like the work, but they hire him back every year and he likes the money.
Despite lapses by their current CEO, in the past the Walton family has contributed more money to conservative causes. Walmart has been the big unions’ biggest boogie man for decades so you have to give them credit for taking all of that heat. Amazon is every bit as anti-union as Walmart and I suspect that at least a part of Jeff Bezos’s liberal political stances are designed to keep the unions off of his back. Any corporation based in Seattle or silicon valley is going to pander to liberal causes. Even Boeing, one of the largest defense contractors in history panders to liberal causes and politicians.
