      If you think "The Left" has tremendous power over Walmart, which has a larger GDP than many developed countries, you might want to re-visit your analysispic.twitter.com/shoS9Ffpg9

      The simpler explanation is that Walmart is responding to market incentives, which has nothing to with "The Left" as Shapiro imagines it

          I dunno, if Gillette is any example market forces have very little to do with it (they lost billions for a similar PR move). It seems more like virtue signaling on the part of individuals at the highest levels of the company.

          I'm not convinced it is a response to market pressure, but rather what Walmart perceives market pressure to be. The Left does have a rather outsized voice.

          You are assuming the USA left, as currently constituted, mainly cares about bread and butter economic issues. They don't. Think about all the work they have done legalizing gay marriage over 30 yrs. If they put even 1/10th that amount of effort into wage increases, unionization..

          It can be both, but no matter which it is it's still the market. Markets are made of people, who express choices, wishes, and demands in ways not just strictly monetary. Ironic watching free market fundamentalists like @benshapiro complain about it.

          I think the Invisible Hand is pushing Walmart towards offering its customers a shopping experience that doesn't include people open carrying. 🤪

          Because the activist pressure and the activist media make the market incentives for the corporation to virtue signal when possible. They've figured out that all the "eat the rich" lefties will cheer on their corporations built off the backs of child labor if they pander to them.

          They don't have any real power but I'm not getting the market incentives. Walmart might gain a slight uptick in positive news coverage over a weekend cycle but it's back to business as usual after that. The press hates on the Waltons and their customers remain mostly ambivalent.

          Sports Authority was also responding to “market” forces, and now it’s no more. These aren’t market forces, this is political correctness and they will suffer. Response to true market forces increases revenue.
