    No, Google.

    Google is a far bigger threat than Waltons could ever be in their wildest dreams.

      I don’t know about that, Walmart has done a lot of damage to our towns, cities and urban fabric by destroying small businesses and getting subsidized huge properties with more parking lot than productive business and residential space, and almost single-handedly creating a poor class of working people who still have to rely on welfare.

      Different sphere. Google doesn’t own the consumer relationship or point of transaction to buy any or all goods.

      Google does a lot of things worth scrutiny to break up, but it’s not the same sphere.

      Google is an obvious threat, Walmart is an insidious one.

        They are both corporations.

        The corporate world has demonstrated that they don’t care about anything or anyone just as long as they are making record profits.

        Corporations are the source of problems these days. As far as I am concerned they all should go straight to hell.

      They’re already going after Google which is mentioned in the article. The real next target (at least in the tech space, don’t know a ton outside of that) is Microsoft imo.

      Walmart is the largest employer in half the states in the union. And almost all of those employees are still on government assistance so we’re subsidizing their staff wages. That part at the least needs to stop

        I came up with a solution for this… Any employer who has employees on assistance has to pay the government back for the assistance in full. Republicans want to come after the families of deceased disabled people to recuperate Medicaid money, so this should be right up their alley, right?
