no one wants to be a checkout clerk at walmart for $6 an hour. This is a good thing. The problem is that the people displaced aren't taken care of. We should be pushing for ubi instead
Nobody in the United States is legally being paid $6 an hour as a cashier. Federal minimum wage is $7.25, and most of the big cities are $15-$20 an hour.
I think the problem that needs to be solved is the distribution of wealth and how we value people the moment they aren't producing stuff for their bosses. I just read that back and realize I'm a Marxist.
Stop shopping at walmart unless you don't have any other options. Walmart sucks and has been an evil empire as long as it has existed. Walmart has killed more mom and pop businesses than any other store I can think of in my life time. They are predatory on communities, especially small ones.
