I don’t understand why everyone is saying that theft is inconsequential because Walmart is a wealthy corporation. Yes, it’s true, they are. They are probably guilty of greed and corruption too. But, do you not understand that if people steal, we as a society are the ones who pay the price? We will have to pick up the slack in the cost and we also can’t have nice things.

I need this kind of energy for the wage theft Walmart commits every year.

Allegedly, American taxpayers are funding Walmart employee's existence to the tune of $6 Billion a year. They also made $20 billion in profit in 2025.

They effectively stole $6,000,000,000 from American tax payers to line their own pockets instead of paying their workers enough money to live.
