The changes announced by the world’s biggest retailer followed a string of legal victories by conservative groups that have filed an onslaught of lawsuits.
Friendly reminder that Walmart has staff members specifically to help their low-end workers apply for assistance programs.
Question for all of your least favorite family members: If Walmarts employees need assistance programs while working full time at Walmart, then who is benefitting more from social safety nets? Walmart or the worker?
Alternatively, if they were to have a minimum wage above the poverty line, wouldn’t that fix the glitch?
… who is benefitting more from social safety nets? Walmart or the worker?
For those who can think critically: Walmart, because they don’t pay a living wage for full-time workers
For those who can’t think critically: the worker, because they’re ‘double-dipping’ by working full-time and are putting their hand out to receive government benefits.
i think that’s giving them too much credit. i would be surprised if the non-critical thinkers even tried to answer the question. i would expect them to deflect/change the topic/rant about something loosely related.

I’ve always believed if a full time employee is collecting benefits the company they work for should be charged 110% of what ever they receive.
That risks creating a perverse incentive that in turn makes Walmart stop helping workers get government assistance without paying them a living wage.
Much better to tie the fines to the profits of the company, the one thing they wouldn’t sacrifice for ANYTHING.
