It's trying!

Walmart and the Walmart family is a scourge on mankind, making billions off of workers and recommending their employees get food stamps.

Their downfall cannot come sooner.

I think it's more a joke about how Walmart tried expanding to Germany in the 90s and failed spectacularly and hilariously.

and recommending their employees get food stamps.

i mean i also recommend everyone to get food stamps if they can because why wouldn't you, it's extra income.

The difference is, you're not making billions off the people who can't afford food on the wages you under pay them.

Not quite the same.
