Fifty thousand more people that taxpayers have to underwrite food stamps and Medicaid for.
Because when you're Wally Mart, you get to underwrite your overhead on the backs of taxpayers.

Socialized overhead, privatized profit.

With over a million workers, they should form a union.

If they didnt have jobs at all, we'd be paying more.

One hopes that it is a stepping stone to more responsibility and/or better jobs. Everyone has to start somewhere. IMO the problem is when they squat in such entry-level jobs for decades.

That might actually be fun, Walmart delivery driver. Bring some joy to lonely people.

How do you know that these people aren't jobless and on food stamps right now?

so, more than half of those being hired are non-family supporting jobs. Yippee

 

[Chillfolks]

Will they bring cashiers back? Or do we get to continue our employee discounts at the self checkout

They do. Google it.

You misunderstand what I am getting at.
When you apply for a job at Walmart, first thing you get in your orientation pack is a Medicaid and food stamp application.

I object to having to pay Walmart's employee healthcare and if their pay is so low that employees need food stamps to eat, then I am also subsidizing their food, too.
The high cost of big box store low prices is that everyone pays, even people like me who never shop there.

If they didn't have jobs at all? Unemployment is at historic lows right now.
The point I am getting at is, Walmart shouldn't get to pass employee pay and bens to taxpayers....they're the largest retail store on Earth.

It's probably smartest not to have a family until you are earning the $ to support one.

Complain to the states then. Because our state minimum wage is $15/hr and Walmart must comply.

I also dislike having to subsidize those things. But doing so for working people is less than doing so for unemployed people, as I already wrote.

Never heard that one. Where are you getting that information?

Walmart, like most businesses, hire an employee NOT a family.
Wages are determined by the value of the work to be performed by the employees, and equal pay for the same job usually results in poor performers being paid more than they are worth while the vest performers are paid less than they are worth. But that's collective bargaining works too.

That's why there is a growing movement supporting the concept of a minimum 'living wage'. If you want to get people off govt subsidies, but still have people working at Wallmart etc, you pay a living wage while cutting the overall taxes paid from the savings.

Stuff gets more expensive to buy, but you pay less tax. Theoretically you end up a little better off. Big advantage for any conservative thinkers is that the things you buy carry the full cost of providing them rather than parts of the cost coming from everyones taxes. That's a true cost system where you don't pay anything for that item unless you actually buy one

I prefer the term "minimum living income". Some work is simply not worth paying what the current minimum wage is. Even hyperinflation does not increase the value of something which has no value to begin with.
If anything at all, government needs to cease subsidizing poor decisions, and promoting good decisions. While the former may be good for getting votes, the latter is the only way to begin resolving most every issue rationally.
