A minimum-wage worker needs 2.5 full-time jobs to afford a one-bedroom apartment in most of the US (investing, $30k)

This isn’t happening. Not with WalMart nor with any other company.

Oh look, another conservative pro-corporate propaganda machine, says so. It must be true.

Even if some Wal-Mart employees are collecting government benefits, that doesn't mean taxpayers are subsidizing Wal-Mart.

Even if taxpayers are subsidizing Walmart, that doesn't mean that taxpayers are subsidizing Walmart. LOL.

Other roommates? How many people do you think a landlord will add to the lease for a one or two bedroom apartment?

If you aren’t pro corporate/ business then you aren’t for workers either .

Workers work at businesses . Without businesses there are no jobs .

Shutting down the Walmarts means more unemployed people on more welfare .

Seems a lot on the left HATE Walmart .. they HATE McDonald’s .

But how much would people be making without them ? Zero $ .

Unless you are for people being self employed but I haven’t seen that being vocalized much on the left..

Good question, that doesn’t seem to stop millions of legal and illegal immigrants, who will largely work minimum wage jobs, deciding America is still the best place on earth they want to live

I guess to the left it’s not worth even alllowing a business to operate unless they can pay employees $50,000 or $100,000 to stock shelves and flip burgers ..

Much better not to have those business operating and bringing in tax revenue etc .

Let’s just have vacant buildings that’ll be great for the economy .

Great plan !

Some landlords probably prefer illegals . They usually don’t tend to make a fuss for obvious reasons ..

Landlords must follow federal occupancy rules at a minimum which allow for two people per bedroom. Whether they are all on the lease would be up to the landlord.
