walmart is not a litmus test for anything.

>largest retailer in the world isn't a litmus test for retail

>>12649567
North America (U.S.A.) can use a bit of famine, especially Shart-Mart shoppers.

>>12649567
Considering just how much Americans eat, the Great Famine is not famine at all. Should be renamed the Great North American Diet

Free market fix it!

>>12649567
>global warming is not real
ahaahhahaha dumb fat americans

>>12649637
there are no retailers like walmart nigga. they have canned food drives for their own employees, because its easier than just paying them a livable wage.

>>12649667
this. its fucking 92 outside today. you dumb dumb americans trying to deny global warming???

>eating canned vegetables

>>12649670
walmart cant pay a living wage they dont make enough money. Do the math its easy

>>12649567
>My Wal-Mart is out of canned vegetables. Is this how the great North American famine begins?
No idea. I haven't seen any signs like that at Publix. I'm going to guess that whatever was missing was something sourced from somewhere specific and it was a _late_ harvest season, not "poor" as they state, since it was "several" types of vegetables. No famine. Just Wal-Mart can't beat everyone else's prices, so they'll wait.

I like this thread.

>>12649670
Oh fuck that's where all the canned food is going

>>12649567
That's not a Walmart

>>12649667
>>12649672
climate change is real
Whether it's actually caused by human's is unknown
If it is, the main culprits are China and India, but good look tryng to make them ban straws

>>12649686
>dont make enough money

>>12649567
>global warming and ICE rounding up the people working in the fields 12 hours/day won't cause issues
>it was a below normal temp in muh backyard yesterday so global warming is fake and real white americans will step into the fields and work 12 hours/day in 100F heat for $10/hour, ok. Really true, ok!
Thx Trump! Good goy!

>>12649567
>canned vegetables

>>12649712
>Whether it's actually caused by human's is unknown
It's known and fully demonstrable, claims to the contrary are FUD propaganda.

>>12649686
Please tell me you're memeing and not actually THAT fucking naive and stupid

>>12649712
>is unknown
To flyovers

>the main culprits are China and India
Stop deflecting. The US has far and away the worst emission per capita rate while China and India consistently meet carbon cap rates

BASED DRUMPF

>>12649712

Are you a fellow scientist or engineer? Sorry your 100% correct statement got shit on, fucking idiots.

>>12649712
Nationally India's carbon emissions are less than half of the US and their per capita is tiny. China's per capita is also less than half of the US emissions. In both cases, most of those emissions are producing products and services which will be purchased by the West, especially the United States (all the carbon emissions in the process of creating an iPhone to be sent to the US, for example).
But it is no surprise that the sort of propaganda shilling idiot who'd think there's any doubt about the human role in climate change is the same idiot who'd think Indians and Chinese, many of whom don't even have indoor plumbing, are somehow responsible for global climate change through witchy Oriental magicks.

Realistically no because Americans don't eat veggies

>>12649972
walmart makes 3.8 billion in profit a year with 2.2 million employees 75% of those are hourly wage. If walmart made $0 in profit they would be able to pay each employee $136 dollars extra a month. Is a 1 dollar an hour raise a living wage?

>>12649567
Hope harder because the way things are going with floods in the farm plains of America and China, heatwaves in Europe and droughts in India, it looks like this is going to be a particularly bad year.

>>12650040
>Walmart gross profit for the twelve months ending April 30, 2019 was $129.012B

>>12650040
Walmart gross profit for the quarter ending April 30, 2019 was $30.891B, a 0.3% decline year-over-year.
Your shitty statistic was off by a power of 10 and that was just for the quarter

>>12649979
>The US has far and away the worst emission per capita rate
>implying the climate cares about per capita more than gross
are you retarded

>china meets carbon cap rates
they don't. even if they did, that's based on the data they report. they've been reporting for decades that they stopped dumping CFCs but look who just got busted doing just that. protip: it wasn't the US

>>12649667
Clearly, because there was never a bad harvest before global warming.

>>12650127
>since the 80s
You mean since we were all going to die from global cooling? Or overpopulation?

>>12650148
>implying the climate cares more about per capita
It doesn’t, but it demonstrates who has far more to actually immediately address than anything you actual retard. Blaming China and India for the US’s astronomical emissions that don’t even match their needs is a complete deflection. And if you want to talk gross totals. India has HALF of the USA in that regard

>they dont
>even if they did etc.
Literally making shit up

>>12650040
>>12650083
What did you learn today anon?

>>12650179
>global cooling
A relatively nonexistent phenomenon strawman used as a coping mechanism by conservatives

>>12650196
Oh, but without sources, it's just a meaningless picture. Nice try tho.

Why did you delete?

>>12650040
>they can't afford to pay their employees they only make a measly 120 billion a year ;_;
how's that boot taste?

>>12650127
That "strawman" was parroted by trump and F(au)x News this winter idiot. What rock have you been hiding under? I thought now was your time to crawl out from under, lol!

>>12650208
Because he’s a dumbass who not only couldn’t read the top of the picture but also thinks i just created that from thin air

>>12650040
Walmart makes 129 billion. They could pay all their 1.5 million American employees a 15 dollar wage and still have 80 billion leftover

>>12650264
B-but muh dividend I get for doing nothing will get cut by 5%! The horror, the horror!

>>12649686

>>12650264
>Walmart makes 129 billion
do people just really make up numbers out of thin air?
https://moneynation.com/how-much-money-does-walmart-make/
$14.7 billion, off that much revenue is like 3% profit margin. that isn't shit. and Walmart pays it's managers/mid-level workers far better than industry average.
maybe if 34yo brenda spent 1% of the money and time she spent huffing lines of coke on education, she wouldn't be a cashier making $23k

>that isn’t shit
Hilarious, that’s an enormous return.

>>12650489
It's not a businesses' responsibility to babysit employees but it's irrational to assume the working class isn't suffering.

>maybe if 34yo brenda spent 1% of the money and time she spent huffing lines of coke on education, she wouldn't be a cashier making $23k
This is probably one of the dumbest fucking things I've read in a long time. The only thing it tells me is that you don't know shit about drugs, the cost of education, or post-education employment.

>>12650489
And what’s funny is your own article says Walmart pays LESS than the industry aver

>>12650510
women get free drugs free college and preferential hiring she should have no problem

>>12649667
>hurr durr there's never been a poor harvest in human history before we invented the steam engine

>>12649979
The earth is essentially a closed system. Emissions per capita mean nothing, only total emmisions do.

>>12649667
You're implying some dipshit didn't print this up, stick it on a shelf, then posted to social media for like/share bullshit.

>>12650522
The US has the 2nd highest emissions in the world. Highest per capita meaning they have a more immediate issue to address. What other damage control are you going to employ?

>>12650040
Fuck off you bootlicking dumbass.

>>12649979
>per capita with the largest backwards savages rates
Easy to meet when millions of your billion are shitting in the streets and using stick pitchforks instead of stone tools.

Our military is one of the biggest polluters. Look it up.

>>12650512
yeah for useless completely replaceable frontline workers, that was implied by what i said. what remarkable skill does one cashier bring to the table that another doesn't?

how fucking unskilled and incompetent do you have to be to need to be a bottom rung worker at Wal Mart to live. if you're that incompetent for whatever reasons there's 75 layers of welfare to cover this.

>>12650563
the arguments they are making amounts to we need give up every modern convenience know to man to save the planet or pay out the nose for them, and then they wonder why there's so much blowback

>>12650598
>completely replaceable frontline workers
Aka the overwhelming majority of their workforce and therefore underpaying the overwhelming majority of their workers? Why are you shifting the goalposts? Do you know what skills the non-labor force brings to the table?

You literally aren’t even addressing the actual points of the discussion here. Just boomer rambling

>>12650613
That’s not what it amounts to at all. This is you strawmanning. You wonder why there’s so much blowback to retards like you when you don’t even attempt to grasp the situation.

>>12650578
>>12650589
Cope, pigskins. Your day is coming fast.

America rangeban when?

>>12649567
Why didn't they just plant more canned vegetables? Typical American short-sightedness

>>12650740
He's exaggerating a bit but he's still kind of right. You have wealthy people flying around in private jets every day saying everyone else has to give up meat for the environment. Expecting people to lower the quality of their life is unreasonable. There should just be more investment into cleaner technologies and how to deal with pollution instead of expecting people to go backwards.

>>12649667
You're trying too hard to be a faggot. Just be yourself and you'll naturally be a faggot.

>>12649567
Literally nobody but retarded flyover preppers buy canned vegetables from fucking walmart.

>>12650735
>avoiding discussion
what that people keep willfully lying saying walmart makes $130 billion a year when it's nothing even close to that, gets linked, and everyone just casually avoids it and keeps saying it? you mean like that?
>if walmart would just surrender all their profits and take a $25 billion/year loss, their employees could live better
lol

>2019
>buying canned salt

>>12649567
>>12649567
This is so fucking annoying. I'm the grocery manager at my local walmart. Every retard fat fucking trog wants to come bitch at me because they can't buy french cut green beans in their favorite brand. We carry loads of the same thing in like 3 different brands. It's the same shit you goddamned worthless wastes of carbon.

>>12649567
I see that every other month, seen it for many years. Yeah, global warming has a hand, but this is nothing new.

>>12649712
>>12649667
So let me get this straight. i get a three day ban for posting a picture of novelty food and these faggots get to have a political debate in a thread about a single grocery store. i can't believe my thread assblasted the mods so much.

>>12651549
IK, right? This board......

>>12651549
Global warming isn't subjective because some people don't want to think about it. As it will severely affect food supplies it is a relevant topic for this boars.

>>12651588
Global warming isn't real, dude. It's a jew lie.

>Getting canned veggies in stores.
>Not planting your own canned vegetable plants.

>>12650871
You can't invest into cleaner tech when massive companies can pay more to stop it from coming to the market.

>>12650179
Goddamn you don't do your research.

>>12651588
I didn't say anything about whether it's real or not you fucktard. It's not relevant. Saying a discussion about AGW on /ck/ is relevent is like saying a discussion on /tv/ about electricity is relevent. Just because food depends on crops and crops are affected by AGW doesn't mean we should talk about it here. Just like how TV depends on electricity and electricity depends on its source, so hurrr durrrr /tv/ needs a nuclear power vs coal discussion. Fuck off with your off-topic shit. The mods are fucking cancer if they ban actual food while letting politics run the board.

didn't Walmart like a decade ago or something basically go with the concept of "let's only carry 2-3 of evwrything" probably to save store space but they also figured too many options was just confusing the customer and they wouldn't buy anything

>>12649567
Aren't all those free trade agreements supposed to circumvent problems like this by allowing the international market to easily supply our shortfalls?

Neither of these things are true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions

>>12650613
Categorically untrue. If we invested more in green power and actually pursued sustainability, we could easily maintain a high standard of life. It's in the name itself. Even if we had to give up a few things we take for granted like plastic bags, are minor 'luxuries' like these really worth dooming our planet's future for?

>>12649567
Protip: There isn't actually a shortage of the canned vegetable, it's only a shortage for the price that walmart is willing to pay.
more expensive options are readily available.

>>12650871
>give up meat
Again, more strawmen. Most sustainable food projects are centered on other animal proteins like fish. Even if we didn't give a shit, beef prices would still go through the roof due to simple rise in demand far outstripping capacity to supply.

>>12652933
This is true, commodity prices are fucked right now thanks to trade wars and the USDA mitigation programs. Ah industry in the US is in a weird spot right now. That’s not to say that growing seasons for a lot of crops haven’t been bad, they have been, but we’re not at famine levels /yet/. More like pre-famine.

>>12649567
Why is the cooking board full of retards who don't know how to cook??? Why the fuck are you using canned vegetables boy.

Get ready to start living off of crickets and soylent dumbass americucks lmao.

>>12652926
Yes they are you dumbass, can you actually not read?

>>12649673
Seriously, who the fuck does this? If I'm buying canned veg it's only corn (either plain off cob or cream).

Never understand why you'd buy canned fucking potatoes, carrots, peas, or shit like that unless you're stocking up your apocalypse bunker.
