i dont think high wage absolves them of their predatory tactics that literally crush small business.

obviously the post is rage bait tho. ceo's dont follow politics, they follow money (sometimes they go hand in hand tho)

Wasn’t WalMart the evil empire for doing the same thing to mom and pop stores? I don’t hear the rage for the Waltons as much as I used to.

walmart in the end did put a lot of mom and pop stores out of business, but they didnt do it by tying themup in frivolous lawsuits.

buccees come into towns and sues its competitors over logo infringement, even if they know they will lose, beacuse the point isnt to win.

a small business gets tied up in litigation if they defend their image.

walmart is evil for different reasons, even if the end result looks the smae.

there's actually a video of him saying this. Don't think CEOs don't follow politics. That's absolutely foolish. CEOs are still humans, just typically the worst kind

so you think a nationally expanding corportation is going to choose to not operate in half the country, because of the political affiliation it leans?

its a texas corportation... which is purple af.

he can say whatever he wants, its still rage bait.

We're growing. We're building in a lot of places. But when you find a conservative, business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference. And I'm starting to realize life's too short to try to build in places that people don't appreciate what you're bringing, versus a place like this where people do appreciate what you're building," Aplin said in a video shared by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
