How? Did Walmart create the welfare state? Yes or no?
You can repeat the same stupidity over and over but unless you're ready to go full on communist and have the govt mandate Walmart pay a certain salary then all you're left with is people making choices. That's not Walmarts fault. We are half way to communism with the minimum wage.

irrelevant.
they don't have to have created it to benefit from a preexisting fascist perverse incentive.
you are arguing poorly in this instance.

You can cry and weep all you like but Walmart is not required to pay anymore than the communist minimum wage and no is required to work at Walmart. If you want to blame Walmart for the problem that's your prerogative but it's nothing more than whiney ass bullshit. Don't work there and don't buy there and Walmart will respond differently.
Instead of whining about how you think things should work you should focus more on how things actually work. If you could do that you might find better solutions but you Marxists don't actually give a shit about people. All you can do is repeat, walmart bad. It's so simple minded. What Thomas Sowell calls, first level thinking.

yes.
you;re fine with fascism and Walmart using the taxpayers to subsidize it's payroll.
libertarians are fine with fascism for some reason.
they're really changed.

You're just talking out of your ass now.
Walmart doesn't use taxpayer money. That's a delusional idea you have in your head. Walmart is a private business. No one is required to work there. Period. Go work for a company that pays, "enough". Another delusional idea by you morons.
Historically WalMart's pay was so low for many associates that states across the US were complaining about how WalMart made up a large number of people requiring social services and welfare.
When one runs a business if that person cannot pay their employees a living wage then it isn't a "business" it is the Walton Family Hobby which you and I help pay for.

So what? For the one millionth time, is anyone required to work at Walmart.
There's lots of shit my taxpayer dollars are used for, Walmart is the least of my worries in that regard. You know why? Because NO IS REQUIRED TO WORK AT WALMART. How about this, in the places where they are complaining about Walmart let them pass a law that says if you work at Walmart you can't apply for food stamps. Bet that'll stop people from working at Walmart

their employees are subsidized by the state.
they're shirkers.
its fascism.
its externalizing costs onto the public at large to profit corporations.

If no one is required to work at Walmart what obligation does Walmart have to do anything more then what the law requires them to do? You aren't really going to try and make a moral case are you?
Again no one is required to purchase anything from Walmart. If they are making money then it's idiots like you that shop there that encourage this "evil" practice you claim they are engaged in.

Hume, as usual, cherry picks one article and presents it as the be-all, end-all of the subject. He / she / it (I'm being nice and doing the woke thing for Hume there) couldn't be more wrong.

Given that academics overwhelmingly lean Democrat and Leftist, it's almost inevitable that their teaching would be similarly influenced.

is the law always the same as morality?

Always? No. But your expectation seems to be that Walmart should pay their employees more money for some reason. If it's not a legal reason then its got to be a morel reason. You haven't shown why walmart should behave morally. And who are you to say what morals Walmart should be required to follow? They follow the law. Since no one is required to shop at Walmart or work at Walmart they don't owe anyone anything behind what's required by law. Minimum wage if you work there and goods for legal tender if you shop there. Period. That's it. Nothing. Nothing more nothing less.

Give me a number. The devil is in the details. These vague ideas with compassionate notions of being able to buy food. Who could be opposed to such a thing right? What food? How much food? Only enough food to provide the minimal daily calories? As recommended but who?
What about electric and rent? Full bellys living in their car? A car? Registration, insurance, maintenance. Does any of that matter?
