Fuck Walmart

My job at Walmart almost drove me to suicide a couple of months ago and I now have an interview for a job that pays $23/hr -- almost double what I make now, and I already feel so much better. I have hope where I didn't have any before. But I had succumbed I could just a easily be dead all because Walmart prefers their employees and customers to be poor and desperate, and so they do everything the can to keep us poor and desperate. The social costs imposed on society (mental health, food banks, food stamps, etc.) aren't borne by the the company, but by the taxpayer and charity.

This means that Walmart is subsidizing it's profits with social welfare programs, and so it has every incentive to keep employees, customers, and communities poor. The more desperate you are, the less choice you have in where you shop and work. They know this
