. . . at minimum wage! Walmart does a great job congratulating itself for its pledge to hire veterans. Walmart is also well-known for its low pay, part-time hours, shitty benefits and anti-labor policies. So someone posted this meme on Facebook,
and the conservatives rushed in to defend good ol' Walmart, their comments best summarized like so:
"At least it's a job."
"Does your company hire veterans?"
"If they don't like it at Walmart, they should work someplace else."
Yes, it's comforting to know they're free to explore all their many minimum wage options. But that not's the point of the meme. It's that Walmart, McDonald's and too many other employers these days rely on the tax-paying public to subsidize their low labor costs via government programs for their poverty-level workers. Walmart is abusing the social safety net for its own bottom-line benefit. No wonder they have Low Prices. Always.
