I'll be quite honest, Walmart's bottom line would be the least of my worries personally

Walmart also relies on the government to cover their employees health insurance and food assistance. They might have to start providing health insurance to their employees otherwise we might to start hearing about quiet quitting again.

So the federal government subsidizes not only Walmart employee wages, but Walmarts grocery sales too? And Mamdani is apparently crazy for saying New York should run its own grocery stores that actually benefit the community instead of making the Walton family richer.

Oh no. Not Walmart. Leave it to America to be more concerned about the shareholders and not the people within the borders.

Walmart would love to start paying people script.

Yes millions of people can't access food, but have you thought about the impact this is having on Walmart's profits?

I dunno why it says "If SNAP goes dark" becuase it already did go dark. It's already been a week woth no payments and it looks like nothing is going to change that. SNAP has already "gone dark".

And it's Walmarts fault. Has been. Always was. Always will be. This is literally their economic model at play.

FUCK EM.

Trump might have just dog walked himself into something good 😂. It never fails. He fucks things up so bad that the economy collapses and cost of living goes down.

Considering that Walmart is one of the largest corporations benefiting from deliberately underpaying their workers and telling them it's the government's job to feed them, I find that my field of fucks is barren.

That's so much money. It's immensely frustrating that any assistance programs we come up with ultimately become a massive wealth transfer to big companies.

SNAP, subsidized student loans/forgiveness, Medicaid/Medicare, etc. The market will just happily absorb the free taxpayer money and then still raise prices on everyone because of the increased demand.

This is the only good news from trump's term. The waltons losing money in this way exposes who they are, and might piss them off enough to do something.

A sad day when corporate greed aligns with people's needs. Welcome to new amerika.

That's an aspect of social security nets that's rarely talked about: They stabilize domestic demand and thereby the local economy.

This isn't new for Walmart. They have 'how to apply for food stamps' employee programs. They have food drives for their employees during the holidays b/c they can't afford food. All while taking in obscene profits.

What the article doesn't mention is how many of Walmarts employees are on SNAP themselves.

Similarly, I expect that a lot of airline CEOs are calling their pet Senators after Trump announced plans to scale back air traffic controllers.

Walmart saves money by not paying a livable wage, they save money by not paying taxes, they receive money from the taxpayers who paid into snap. No wonder why they keep making profits year after year.

GOOD! Fuck the family monopolizing the true message he originally had!!! They’re all fucking trash so honestly fuck Walmart!!!!!
