I meant Tragic as in the amount of people it’d hurt. That’s it.
I couldn’t give a Rats ass about what happens to the company. It’s the people I was mostly concerned about.
Because unless it’s changed dramatically since I worked there. Most of the staff aren’t there because they like Walmart. They’re working there because they’ve got precious few options.
And realistically the most likely replacement of Walmart would probably be regional competition/copycats buying up Walmart assets. Because they have the money and with the demise of Walmart the demand to fill.
Which while I suppose it’d be an improvement over a Multi-National Conglomerate. Probably isn’t what you were banking on.
I typed out the previous response before seeing this, and I have to agree with this part.
It may come up that they are just regional replacements, but a big part of what makes Walmart profitable is by buying in such vast bulk that companies have no choice but to lower the prices to an extreme. Unless Walmart gets soaked up by a similarly large company, which is unlikely because many of these big box stores (Target for ex) are suffering in a similar way at this time.
