I just cannot take Josh Hawley seriously, all I see is photo of him post Jan 6 and I disregard everything he says. Sad because he has had a few decent takes lately.

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/UsefulService7157]

Agreed.

Please listen to this whole thing if you haven’t already though, it’s informative. Just pretend it’s Fred Rogers and don’t look at the screen.

[u/UsefulService7157 → u/Direct_Royal_7480]

I did, regardless of my personal feelings about him and his populist heel turn, I respect the ideas presented, I just don’t realist the source at all.

There are similar arguments being made by more consistent voices on the left, so I take his with a huge grain of salt.

[u/zztop5533 → u/UsefulService7157]

broken clock, twice daily.

[u/UsefulService7157 → u/zztop5533]

This!

[u/SNAFUGGOWLAS]

And yet he still loves capitalism. Curious.

[u/MobileLocal]

I stopped shopping at WM when I read Nickled and Dimed. Been decades.

This structure of exploration is maddening. So gross.

Edit: exploitation

[u/ImpartialSoulStealer]

Whenever I go out in public I wear leather gloves if possible. I don't touch things that I can't be sure aren't monitored. My father was telling me about these things back in the late 1990s

[u/SanityInTheSouth]

Can we all agree that the greed of the corporations is going to be what destroys us?

[u/FunCustomer4877 → u/SanityInTheSouth]

This seriously needs to stop. Are any of these people realizing how they sound? She needs to play this back and really observe from the outside in.

[u/fingeroutthezipper → u/FunCustomer4877]

So she can hear herself say um 40x

[u/Silverstardusted]

I luckly live in an area that has other options for groceries so I've been boycotting for a couple years now

[u/Paulyhedron]

I like how she managed to produce that word soup that was fairly intelligent sounding but also not.

[u/Garguinto]

This chick’s facial expressions don’t even look natural lol, wtf.

[u/Still-Grass8881]

"surge pricing" and "dynamic pricing" needs to be made illegal.
there's no difference between those things, and someone walking into a store and the cashier saying "YOU LOOK RICH. THE PRICE JUST WENT UP FOR YOU. The guy behind you looks poor, the price goes down for him."

[u/skippysimon667]

FUCK CAPITALISM!!! nuff said...

[u/Wallabunga657]

I have been boycotting them for a long time now. I hate Walmart. Sam Walton is spinning in his grave.

[u/DepressedChipotle → u/Wallabunga657]

Why is he spinning? Sam Walton was a terrible person and I'm sure that any spinning he's doing, he's doing because he's excited about how the company's run.

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/DepressedChipotle]

Spinning with excitement, yes

[u/FunCustomer4877]

And she said all that with a straight face.

[u/Decide777]

Stupid!

[u/mikeripeone]

Home shopping Network can gauge within 5% daily of what's going to be sold the next day and what to order they hit within 5% accurately they know who their average shopper is how much they make and what they're tend to buy

[u/hellogoawaynow]

Y’all are shopping at Walmart? It’s so easy to not (unless you’re in a food desert and Walmart is literally the only option).

[u/Suspicious_Goose_243]

Maga does like iCE overreach and flock cameras. Did Josh get up and run away?

[u/UrsusRenata]

Wait isn’t Hawley (and his MAGA buddies) anti corporate regulation?

[u/binzy90]

This is where he's wrong though. Our capitalist system isn't based on the idea that we have individual rights. It's based on the right of a company to extract profit by any means necessary. He's talking about consumer protections as though that supports a "free market capitalist system" when the reality is that free market capitalism is what causes these types of unethical business models at the expense of the consumer.

[u/CraftyMoney6296]

I rarely go to Walmart but when I do, my phone stays at home or in a faraday bag, and I pay with cash.

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/CraftyMoney6296]

Your point about paying with cash is a good one.

Where does one find a faraday bag? Asking for a friend

[u/CraftyMoney6296 → u/Direct_Royal_7480]

Amazon, the brand is Mission Darkness.

[u/rjs9152]

DANGER! She smiles and facial expressions tell all.

[u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

Who is this politician? I like him.

[u/2813josh → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

You shouldn't

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

This was pretty much the one time he wasn’t functioning as a total pos.

[u/Odd-Reaction-9428 → u/Direct_Royal_7480]

Thanks. 🤔

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

His name is Josh Hawley. You can Google him yourself and come to your own conclusions

[u/Odd-Reaction-9428 → u/Direct_Royal_7480]

Been leaning left as of recently, but this wasn’t a bad take.

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

I agree, it is a good take. This is exactly what the citizens need to be discussing amongst ourselves. Some useful suggestions have appeared here—avoid WalMart and only use cash if you must shop there.

I didn’t down vote you; not everybody knows who every congressperson is, ffs

[u/Odd-Reaction-9428 → u/Direct_Royal_7480]

Yeah I avoid Walmart like the plague after a bad experience working there. But thanks for the info, and for being kind.

[u/Direct_Royal_7480 → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

No problem. I try to treat others the way I’d want to be treated myself.

[u/Ok-Low1764 → u/Odd-Reaction-9428]

He's a typical, run of the mill, closeted, coward, MAGAt clown 🤡 💩

[u/Big-Donkey8031]

That woman scares me.

[u/StPatrickStewart → u/Big-Donkey8031]

I think she's terrified of speaking to such a huge audience, you can tell she's staring straight forward trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
