    Trickle down economics working again
    Walmart is boosting the minimum hourly wage for its U.S. employees to $11 and dishing out bonuses of up to $1,000.

          Smart by Walmart to announce a bonus while simultaneously laying off thousands of workers. Well played Walmart, well played.

              Walmart is the only company that can compete. They have the infrastructure in place and are trying to find creative ways but it will be tough.

                    Seems part of this closure decision is a shift to e commerce.

                    Rest likely expired tax incentives and real estate appreciation

                      Thats just businesses following simple supply and demand. The story here is the raise all employees WITH a job still got. Stay on topic here jayfly.

                        Wal-Mart execs and shareholder get billion dollar tax cut forever

                        While the workers get $400 once.

                        Trickledown effect at it's best.

                        Tax breaks were a bait and switch.

                        Is the swamp drained yet?

                          It never stopped working, supply side economics is about the most agreed upon things in America, but the left is more interested in making a group they don't like worse off to make a group they do like better off.

                            Of course its the story to you because it fits your narrative of MAGA and you are too much of a broke dick loser to see anything but.

                                                    Didn't Trump specifically negotiate with them to keep those jobs here then brag about what a great thing he had done?

                                                        This is what’s so great about SBR. You know NOTHING about me but I’m a broke dick loser because you disagree with a single post. Just think about that my friend.
