People want to have union jobs but retain Walmart prices as a consumer. This is the problem.

You say it like it's one or the other.

> Walmart annual gross profit for 2025 was $169.232B, a 7.12% increase from 2024. Walmart annual gross profit for 2024 was $157.983B, a 7.06% increase from 2023. Walmart annual gross profit for 2023 was $147.568B, a 2.65% increase from 2022.

You're telling me poor walmart just HAVE to increase prices because they have to pay a living wage ? All thanks to those darn Unions ?

This false dichotomy.

The implementation details matter a lot. How did they get a vastly different outcome than what this suggests?
