I have friends that work at Walmart and they don't live off welfare and have a nice place, maybe stop blaming Walmart for your failures and take personal responsibility.No, but it is Walmart's fault that so many of their employees are working 32-40 hour per week while still being so broke they need welfare to survive on top of their paychecks which amounts to hundreds of millions if not billions per year in welfare to Walmart to offset their paychecks and subsidize their payrolls. And that isn't even getting into their direct subsidizes to the company or anything. Quite literally, after you take into account how much they officially pay in taxes annually and then take into account what is paid out to them and their employees, they are actually revenue neutral to the US if not a cost sink last I checked.
Your friend is the blip on the radar, the company you mentioned was one of the big problems that make him look like nothing by comparison.
Also, how is your friend able to sit around all day and play video games and eat on the government dime? Did he somehow manage to qualify for or scam for disability? And if that is the case, how? I have been on file for disability for years now while fighting the VA and both social security and the VA have tried to ignore their own doctors and their doctors medical opinions trying to deny me with social security trying to tell me that while my injuries can cause all my symptoms that they didn't think they were as bad as claimed and gave all supporting evidence of my case from the VA no medical weight basically trying to claim that since I didn't have every single possible symptom, they didn't believe I had the others bad enough to matter.
How did your friend get around that? And even if I get it from SSI, I would still cap out at $779 per month. So how is your friend mooching and living the high life off that system?

No one was talking about Walmart either, if he can bring up pointless banter so can INoone is talking about your lazy friend. The discussion is about the people who work much harder than a lot of rich people, and yet they can barely get by. "Just get an education!" - Right, except that costs a lot of money, and doesn't exactly leave much room for working. And you know, they have to work to get food and pay bills.
I'm so immensely sick and tired of this discussion, because one side is so blatantly oblivious when it comes to reality. "Why can't people just do like me, I did fine" - Says guy who has every opportunity to do things, because of the life he was born into. Not everyone gets that, and the ones who don't get fucked so unbelievably hard in America. Thank god I don't live there, it is frustrating enough to watch it from outside the country, I can only imagine the frustration of living there and watching it continue.
