Oh, no. I know their business practices. It's just about how desperate this community is.
I hope something else replaces it. But I'm not confident of that.

but for starters Walmart doesn't hire *anyone* full time anymore so they don't have to pay benefits.
Well then thank god for Obamacare and Social Security.
Man, you'd think most folks in the South would wise up to the fact that they'd benefit from voting Democrat.

I understand that. ::sigh:: Such a clusterfuck it all is.

I don't think this is actually true
(not that I love their business practices, but things do get exaggerated.

And you singled out the South because...?

It's where Wal-Mart is from and they dominate the market down there.

Our wings are not tired.
Perkins, that page is very, very misleading. For example, it states that 95% of its employees have healthcare. What they fail to tell you is that only a fraction of that number is actually through Walmart. Most of its employees who have healthcare are on Medicaid or other sources.
Also SIX months before you're allowed to enroll in their healthplan? And a year for part timers? Gah.

Yup. And they do do the full time, it's just carefully allocated.
I do wish everyone would stop calling it Obamacare. For one thing, that's polarizing. For another, it's polarizing and calls out the crazies. And it ain't great. A start, at least. TO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE OMG TYRANNYFASCISMHITLER.
OK, sorry, just channeling the crazies.

I was using that to point out they do hire full time people.
As I said, I know they have issues, but frequently there is exaggeration involved.
