7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Care to summarize so I don't have to get icky from Insta?
Conspiracy theory guy that loves RFK Jr. He assumes Christy Walton funds anti-Trump ads because Walmart wants to hire illegal immigrants. Actually she's just a libbed out white woman who lives in southern California and has more money in solar companies than Walmart because most of the Walmart stock bypassed her and went to her oldest son.
As the OP posted, Christy Walton, ie Walmart family, is funding this NO KINGS charade, points to the bottom of the adds showing she is paying for this. He also points out she is worth nearly 20 billion dollars. Do you think Christy is involved in authoritarianism causes or human right abuses? NO! He points out in articles that Walmart is the biggest corporate welfare queen (no shock,) and that they (Christy) are doing this to preserve cheap labor so they don't have to pay. He compares China's lowest 50% to ours. China's lowest 50% holds twice as much wealth as our lowest 50%. He points out China, where we get all our cheap goods, is able to pay their workers, and the US somehow.....cant. It is all about corporations, and in this case, Walmart specifically, not wanting to pay a living wage and preserving this.
Edit to add, he also points out the irony of a NO KINGS protest against a KING, funded by an OLIGARCH.
Class traitors are welcome.
Should they be eaten first to spare them the suffering of seeing the rest be devoured, or last to allow them to live as long as possible before their inevitable demise?
Only as long as they are useful.
