How evil do you have to be to be too evil for Walmart?
Walmart does what is good for walmart profits.
Having walmart adds placed next to Nazi shit is not good for walmart profits. (and then the public finding out, which is the real problem)
So walmart pulls adds from twitter.
I bet it's more like peer pressure. If everybody else is doing it then they feel they should too to avoid backlash. They don't care about musky's rants or how right wing xitter has become.
Lmao, oh, my, no… this isn’t a moral stance they’re taking… hehehe… oh, sigh…
No, they’re protecting their profits. At least some of their customers object and it might affect Walmart’s bottom line, so that’s why they’re pulling their ads. They don’t give a shit about the content on Twitter, or they would have stopped advertising there long ago.
That's the point of a business.
Crazy how people like you think Walmart is any more or less evil than the average for-profit corporation.
They're definitely more evil than average, the average is just also pretty fuckin' evil.
How are they more evil than average? What does Walmart do that Target, Whole Foods, and Kroger does not?
