So what would you propose doing about Walmart? Do you favor raising the minimum wage, perhaps? Or regulating businesses so they provide a living wage and health benefits? Or tax breaks for the same? Or what?

If I were an ambitious 19 year old with no taste for higher education, I'd go to work at Walmart. It has a gazillion employees and departments and divisions and it's growing.

I'd know I'd get promoted and get higher wages for performance. Going to get bonuses and stock.

For a certain kind of person, Walmart is an employment smorgasbrod.
