Walmart announced hundreds of layoffs yesterday.

But remember that the company has been hiking prices and raking in big profits.

Its share prices hit a record high in March.

The Walton family's net worth reached $267 billion this year.

Textbook corporate greed.

@rbreich Reminds me of the book Nickel and Dimed.

@podkaynelives This is a great book. Ehrenreich had it figured out 25 years ago. Very little has changed for the better since then.
@Barbramon1 I know, it's really shocking how little has changed.
