I knew apple retail employees on food stamps... It isn't just Walmart.
55% of @Walmart’s associates struggle with hunger.
Massive corporations like Walmart shouldn’t be allowed to pay workers wages so low that their employees struggle to survive.
We are going to raise wages and end their corporate greed.

True but Walmart sets the trend. You get Walmart and Amazon to cave and you set.

There is no reason any Walmart, Amazon, or Apple employee should be on food stamps and homeless. Those companies are some of the biggest on the planet and the CEOs make more per year than they need to x1000. It's disgusting.

A Freedom Dividend would bring more help to each and everyone of those people. It would even give them the opportunity to find a better job or start their own business without having to slave away at Walmart. I invite you to learn more:https://youtu.be/kjiHwx6bpkg

i appreciate you sharing this in good faith and i’m even open to a UBI. but no one, especially someone already living in poverty, is opening & running a business on a grand a month. most of the $ will go to making up for the gov benefits they’d lose under yang’s plan
-
I understand but it's not specifically to help you open businesses. And the plan is to let you keep help if it's already over 1k-month. And I see it as start in preparation for the mass job-loss that's coming in the next decade. Automation is a fact and UBI'll soon be a necessity

Republicans hate unions cuz they get corporations to pay their employees living wages and protect them. Walmart employees should strike and unionize.

A Freedom Dividend would help many of those people
-
Also known as a UBI, this will help every American citizen cope with the loss of jobs to automation & artificial intelligence; and those who live paycheck to paycheck, stay-at-home parents, and even new entrepreneurs that can't find the time to start new projects. Learn more.

The Freedom Dividend is *one version* of UBI. The general idea is great but Yang's libertarianesque version is a good first step on a much longer path.
-
Another version of UBI would be needs-based and work alongside an expanded social safety net, as opposed to replace it as is often suggested by some of the people who support the Freedom Dividend.

Nobody is forcing them to work there for any particular wages.

Right, I think Walmart should be paying their employees more, but if you aren’t making enough, try for a job that does. That’s what I did, at least. If Walmart is so bad that people can’t survive working there, that in itself is rock bottom, any job will be better at that point
-
I think you don’t realize how hard it is to find a job that works for you that pays well. Most people struggle to get by because they think $12 an hour is the best they can get without a degree.
-
Also if they pay decent then what’s the argument? If they pay well stay with them, if they pay poorly, make an attempt to go elsewhere. If pay and hours are the issue. Again, if Walmart is payin minimal, the clientele for higher paying jobs is a lot more than people think.
