A Walmart boycott, organized by The People's Union USA (whoever the fuck that is*), is underway from April 7 to 14, 2025, and targets all Walmart stores, online platforms, and affiliated services, including Sam's Club, in protest of what organizers see as corporate greed and DEI policy rollbacks. The People's Union USA, led by John Schwarz, views the boycott as a form of economic resistance against perceived corporate practices, including tax avoidance, rising prices, and stagnant wages.
Walmart, along with other companies, has faced criticism for rolling back DEI programs, which the boycott organizers see as a step backward.

Shame on Walmart!
ReplyDeleteThey should have stuck with rooster eggs instead of depending on eggs laid by hens.
Rooster eggs are much healthier.
I normally hate going to Walmart because of the customers. If they're all going to boycott during that time, I guess I can go and stock up.
ReplyDeleteI'd say the boycott is a wizard time to go shop at WallyWorld; none of the "colorful" people will be there.
ReplyDeleteSo they're okay with USAID, countries ripping us off with tariffs and gov corruption but Walmart is the problem.
ReplyDeleteShould you not be happy, Walmart sells mostly Chinese stuff?
DeleteThat should lower the level of shoplifting by about a 90% margin.
ReplyDeleteSo... let me guess, loss by theft will be down severely during the protest. Thus proving removing DEI is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteIf they boycott Walmart, the losses through 'five-finger discounts' are going to go down.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much of that $100,000 came from the US taxpayers, thru one Gov't organization or another.
