At over $446 billion per year, Walmart is the third highest revenue grossing corporation in the world. Walmart earns over $15 billion per year in pure profit and pays its executives handsomely.

Wal-Mart’s poverty wages force employees to rely on $2.66 billion in government help every year, or about $420,000 per store. In state after state, Wal-Mart employees are the top recipients of Medicaid. As many as 80 percent of workers in Wal-Mart stores use food stamps.

…In effect, Wal-Mart is shifting part of its labor costs onto the public.

#THIS #this is what pisses me off about the current assholery re: CEOs and Obamacare #some corporations have built their success on the backs of their employees #forcing them into the economic margins of society #and constantly leveling the ones who manage to spike past average #in order to maximize profits #and minimize dissent #it’s gross and unethical and under no circumstances should the employees be villified #or reduced to takers #when it’s the richest who are taking the most

This so much.

and this is fuedalism. it’s not even capitalism anymore, it’s late capitalism gone takeover mode to corporate oligarchy and social/political fuedalism.

.If there is one thing I am certain of, it’s that our thinking can get in the way of our happiness. It is our thoughts that really dictate the way we feel, so why not choose thoughts that make you feel amazing? The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. You can choose to make the rest of your life the best of your life.
There are no failed relationships, because every person in your life has a lesson to teach. Sometimes you simply outgrow people. Don’t try to fix the unfixable, just accept it and move on. When someone leaves you, it’s important to emotionally release them. And know it’s not an ending – it’s a new beginning. It just means that their part in your story is over. Your story will go on.
