$2.9B profit and they can’t in the slightest way put people first. #ShameOnKroger
NEW: @Kroger is the U.S.’s largest grocery chain. It has made $2.9 BILLION in pandemic profits. Now it’s shuttering stores in multiple states just to avoid giving employees $4/hour hazard pay. We spoke to the Kroger workers who are about to lose their jobs.

Perhaps don’t interject the government into how much businesses should pay for wages and let capitalism and the free market be the judge?

The government cannot force a company to operate businesses at a loss. What part of that can you not get through your freaking skull?

Seriously...When the government steps in, and demands wages that would result in a particular store operate and LOSE MONEY, what do you expect them to do?

Many large companies are already looking at post pandemic economy decisions. An under performing store pre-covid that still is not performing well during Covid is not going to be performing well post Covid.

I hear you. Just like all Dems, you are upset and it makes no sense that your policies don’t result in the promises you made and expected to happen. But you Dems were cautioned that this would happen and you either didn’t listen or you just were oh so smart and you knew better

This is why there needs to be Government Regulations ... and Unions ... otherwise ... the owners of many of these businesses will walk all over their employees.
