Yeah this is something that ususally goes over everyones heads. These companies (dollar general, Walmart, Mcdonalds, Pizza hut, Amazon, All fast food chains, All chain dining resturants, All Grocery stores, ect.) so many companies are able to get away with paying slave wages because the government subsidizes their employees with tax funded benefits. This is how so many corporations have become mage giants. These CEO's live lavish lifestyles all while their employees are the poorest in the country. Its slavery. You work your whole life with the hopes to retire but those days are fading away. This is a subject that can be big viral articals to independent journalists if they would dig. There is a trend that has taken place in America since the 50s where minimum wage has made a few filthy rich and millions poor. They take advantage of people that never went to college. And especially in small towns where the job markets are tight, these companies have moved in with the promise of creating and offering thousands of jobs but all they really do is give people something to do with their time that gives no benefit. I know a lady that is very humble. She has worked at KFC for over 30 years frying chicked. Shes not the intelegent type who will seek better. She is very loyal and thinks KFC takes care of her. I remember when she told me about a raise she got. She said it was her 3rd raise. She said she gets one every 10 years. She was so excited about how much more shes making. The raise was 70 cents an hour. She makes just over 9 dollars. She told me she has gotten raises when the government raised the minimum wage but as far as the company goes that 70 cents was amazing to her. So humble she does nothing but talk so positive about that company. It makes me sick they treat her that way and take advantage of her "disability" Shes just a very simple person. Kind of different if you get what I mean, but she is great at her job and only makes 9 something an hour. less than $400/week. I asked her once about retirment and she said shed have to depend on social security because there are no benefits at her job. Yes she is on governmnet assistance and I personally believe she deserves all the help she can get. Just a really good person. Hard worker. She gets used. It angers me. Yet KFC rakes in billions in profit every year. And they say they just could not afford to pay their employees more becuase the shareholders would not agree with less profit. We live in a sick society. People will do anything to get rich and once one gets a taste for the finer life they tend to look at pooer people as pesants. Lower than themselves. Greed is the worst.

Greed is truly the worse. I cannot believe that's what she is paid. I have an assistant. I am not a rich person but because of what I do I can afford to hire. I paid her twice as much as she gets working at Chilis. Of course, it's not part time, or full time but several hours a week. I don't cheat people. Damn those companies.

Few like her God bless her, the rest illegals taking advantage of us. This system of giving away money housing food needs to crash now, and I know it will end soon because the amount of illegals that we have. The big corporations are going to end too because that is the same the system that are giving them money. God already won this battle.

They are being told to take advantage of us by the other side because the other side is getting rich off of it. Sad thing is that those illegals are genuinly trying to escape socialism and communism unkowingly that the people in America promising them handouts actually want to empliment the same thing here that they are fleeing. The governments are to blame. Not the people. Some of the immigrants are genuine great people but theres the bad guys too. Its all sad really.

A Walmart in Quebec Unionized and they closed it down. An Amazon Warehouse in Quebec Unionized and they closed it down. They don't want People having a living Wage. Go to Costco, they respect their Workers.

Not familiar but if they pay their employees a decent wage and help with medical and dentist, then support them. The Costco Annual Fee is what helps things work. Cashflow and no deadbeats.

This investigation is propoganda, why ? Because the structure of these companies is such that they plan to hire part time, offer limited benefits and use the employees for flexablility. Thats not the rub. The employees are selected in part, based on an I-9 form that identifies certain criteria that identifies employees that will enable the EMPLOYER to directly receive $5-9K + in hiring benefit from the GOVERNMENT, our tax paying dollars !

Read it again. These lower paid employees are within the range of "Minimun Wages" in ALL states and if they quit, or find another 'better job' , which is encouraged, because the companies offer higher eduction as a 'benefit'. They even get tax breaks for offering education programs, and of course, university education is quality brain washing.

WHY ? You ask ?

Obviously, sir, maam, they get paid a block sum of cash to hire a replacement. At an average of a 25% sales margin, if they are getting paid $5K-10K cash per hire, they would have to sell $20K - 40K of product to make the same profit. That does not include the cost of labor or logistics.

Now , you have a story. This was afforded to the industry by Bill Clinton in the year he gave Wal Mart to China Imports with the Tarrif deal etc.

So we subsidized Walmart for hiring a cheap labor and we pay them for a replacement when the person quit? Is that what you are saying?

We, as the Gov. Continue to subsidize employers (not just Wal Mart, Target also ) through the noted acceptions on the I9 forms. By coincidence (not) those that qualify are disenfranchised. Perhaps single parent, veteran, minority, homeless, freshly out from jail without assets, certain immigration status situations, victims of situations etc. . . They are paid to hire this group of people. They are hired part time as are 90% of the staff. So they continue to qualify for Gov. benefits, more quickly than equal American with straight up poverty conditions. For example, they would not have to provide documentation to the same degree and would get express approval. This applies to every hire. So we are not paying for replacements, but we are. My point is TURNOVER is the BEST CASE SCENARIO and the MAXIMUM profit from investment of anything they do ! So essentially your summary is fair except you forgot to include FIRED also.

lol. You didn’t offend me. Look preacher this choir was local sourcing and using individual WAY before it was cool. Which was my point. I created more than one farmers market and craftsman fair in my day. Even helped a few keep the big guy out of small town business fights. This is why you save the Judgey McJudgerson for yahoo. Some of the Pepe’s here are amazing ( not talking about my piddling around referenced above btw) and many not just fighting the good fight in believe but action. You don’t know what or who you don’t know or what they have done or who they are. So let me fix it for you instead of all of us need to get off our fat asses ( which would be hilarious if you knew me like seriously you have no idea 🤣) Try this- First start I have made a huge commitment to not use Amazon or Walmart. I only shop local or ship direct or go without still feels like not enough. Suggestions? Anybody gotten any traction with this? If so how? Or Whose got Walmart is slave driver memes or wanna bake some? OR anything that actually does something about the issue besides demanding others fix it just cause you demand it. You sound like a blue hair bitch. ( not calling you that just being honest to how it rings)Knock it off your better than that. I love your passion but the pitch needs work. We are the people who are supposed to do something not just complain about what others do. JS

Oh no I am just devastated. Your opinion is of course the most important thing in all the world. So of course I am just destroyed. How ever can I recover? I am not here to coddle you. You seem intelligent. You have good morality. Stop throwing rocks at your own side. I am beyond a kind introduction to the concept of someone picking up that stone and winging it back. I am also playing very very gently. Be glad I answered when you went looking for a fight because some who might won’t be kind or offer advice. I get it your mad your frustrated and you see the need. Good that means you can make a difference. Keep the passion develop the focus of it to make a difference and not just rage.

You might think it is blunt and unhelpful but someone else might be able to recognize the advice for just that. Advice on achieving the actual goal. The pearl is the pearl irregardless of what it is set before. I was given the same advice a long time ago and I discovered that when I didn’t just get mad or frustrated but actually did something anything even if it only moved the needle a bit - that mattered. Enough little victories add up way faster than condescending or demanding. You think it is blue screen fine then the nugget I attempted to pass on wasn’t for you. It is for someone else. Please return to demanding everyone else get off their fat asses and fix stuff - oh and support your local farmer markets and small businesses as you do so. Have a lovely day

I am glad you did. It was a good opportunity to delve into some we all are subject to. Huge problems like so many facing anyone not elite so basically everyone create this deep frustration and makes us all feel like no one is doing enough. It’s true but also not true in the sense if everyone does some then it is possible to dig our way out. Lashing out or giving up is what those who created or benefit from the issues is what they hope we do. The most frightening scenario is someone inspires or educates others and that catches on. You have the brains and passion to do that. Your fight and spunk is admirable and you have the potential to inspire others with it. Then my fren then you can do real damage points to those greedy locust. One of us or even thousands we will have a small impact but create options and then encourage others to use them or educate people in their circles. Just might take off and we get back a slice of the stolen pie. Additionally you get to help some one build their dream and escape the corporate slave trade themselves.
