      They exploit mentally handicapped people. Like how fucking evil do you have to be to steal from a mentally handicapped person? Whatever level that is, Walmart blew past it decades ago and kept on running.

      $147,000,000,000 ÷ 2,100,000 employees = $70,000 profit per employee.

      Imagine if they decided to give even half of that back to their employees. That would more than triple the income of their minimum wage workers.

      And yes, I know there’s no way in hell that happens because they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders blah blah blah. Just imagine a more fair world with me for a second.

      And keep in mind, as Jon Stewart reminds us, we subsidize the employees low wage in social programs including food stamps. It’s the worst of all worlds.
