They've destroyed once-vibrant downtowns of small communities such as Marshalltown, Iowa and Silver City, New Mexico- two towns that I've seen decimated by their low prices. They pay such poor wages that many of their workers receive medical assistance from the state. They've driven manufacturing off-shore and shuttered so many U.S. companies that couldn't compete with low wages paid in poor countries. What's not to hate?
But today I heard something that made me despise the company even more. Walmart is holding a food drive for its own employees. Yes, you heard that right.
I had to fact check this gem. And there it was all over the web in Forbes, Slate, Huffington Post and CNN Money. There was even this picture. Enuf said. I hope you'll join me in boycotting Walmart until they decide to pay a living wage, provide health care, treat women fairly and buy American.
