The stock market giveth, and the stock market taketh away. If you doubt that, just consider what happened yesterday when Walmart stock hit a 30-year low. The company’s profits are estimated to decrease by 12 percent in 2015.

How drastic has all this been for the Walton family heirs who own the majority of the stock in the world’s largest retailer? They are projected to lose at least $41 billion this year alone.

Walmart, it should be noted, has a reputation for being one of the most exploitative corporations in the world, but at the moment the company is losing money in nearly ever single one of is worldwide operations….READ MORE at LiberalAmerica

    Will they have to sell one of their Bentleys? No. Will they have to move into a house that doesn’t have separate servants’ quarters? No. All this means is that their great grandchildren might not inherit as big a portfolio.

      It is a start.

      I still love it when the employees put a donation dumpster in front of their condo in Manhattan last thanksgiving

    Karma is the four greediest China*Mart scumbags crying over money they should’ve helped others less fortunate with, but didn’t and couldn’t possibly ever spend. Rapture Ready?

    Awww! This saddens me to the very depth of my soul.

    • anothertoothpick October 16th, 2015 at 21:43

      Walmart made some improvements in store.

      • rg9rts October 17th, 2015 at 03:27

        Can you imagine the pictograph for 16

        • bpollen October 17th, 2015 at 03:40

          One hand is polydactyl?

          • rg9rts October 17th, 2015 at 03:47

            Yeah right…there is always one wag in the crowd

            • bpollen October 17th, 2015 at 03:53

              Just seems better than a free-floating finger. Or an 4th hand with only one finger. That would be really creepy! And remind me of my friend Tim and his losing streak with a band-saw.

              • rg9rts October 17th, 2015 at 05:32

                I was thinking of the international peace sign… and whatever you do keep Timmy away from chainsaws

                • bpollen October 17th, 2015 at 05:43

                  Ever watch the Jim Henson show Dinosaurs?

                  “We’re gonna need another Timmy!”

              • The Original Just Me October 19th, 2015 at 01:48

                One hand with one finger stuck up. “We’re number One.”

    It’s about time, they need to start acting for the betterment of the country and society instead of their own already bloated pockets. Buy American!

    • anothertoothpick October 16th, 2015 at 21:23

      I still shop at Sears.

      • granpa.usthai October 16th, 2015 at 23:57

        have you checked where a lot of the pre-packaged ‘Craftsman’ tools are made?

        • tigerp October 17th, 2015 at 10:31

          where would you suggest we buy American made anything?

    • rg9rts October 17th, 2015 at 03:26

      They do….they are supporters of SNAP and medicaid

  5. katkelly57 October 16th, 2015 at 22:08

    I have to run to Wal-Mart to buy some Kleenex to wipe away my crocodile tears.

    Booeffin’hoo.

    • Gindy51 October 17th, 2015 at 07:29

      Dollar General is cheaper!

      • katkelly57 October 17th, 2015 at 18:50

        We don’t have them here…I can always go to Dollar Tree…..they have the Jamaican patties there too!

        • whatthe46 October 17th, 2015 at 20:57

          • katkelly57 October 17th, 2015 at 22:34

            • whatthe46 October 17th, 2015 at 23:08

              cracking up. what in the… nevermind.

              • katkelly57 October 18th, 2015 at 02:15

                It’s an ancient Jamaican secret.

                • whatthe46 October 18th, 2015 at 02:22

                  tears in my eyes. so funny.

  6. Warman1138 October 16th, 2015 at 22:39

    There is something that Walmart fears more than anything else and that something is Amazon.

  7. robert October 16th, 2015 at 23:28

    the good news is…the year 2015 isn’t over yet

  8. William October 16th, 2015 at 23:36

    Poor Wal-Mart.

  9. granpa.usthai October 16th, 2015 at 23:59

    doesn’t Wal-Mart allow open carry?

  10. fahvel October 17th, 2015 at 03:17

    there may be a paper loss of 40+billion but, considering what these numbers with all the zeros mean, how much wealth do the waltons still have???????

    • Gindy51 October 17th, 2015 at 07:28

      Too much considering they didn’t build it, their dad did.

  11. rg9rts October 17th, 2015 at 03:25

    Haven’t been there in decades

  12. ExPFCWintergreen October 17th, 2015 at 08:45

    I can’t imagine this is anything but a paper loss. A new one’s being built 2 miles from my house. So I can’t wait for that horror show

  13. Suzanne McFly October 17th, 2015 at 09:31

    People will be blaming the higher wages for this, cause $10/hr is just too much and the wally world workers are being greedy…………../s

  14. eyelashviper October 17th, 2015 at 11:32

    Looks like these folks and their friends aren’t spending enough at Walmart anymore…shame.

    Donate containers for the family will be at all Walmart checkouts soon

  16. maggie October 19th, 2015 at 00:42

    I have some suggestions for walmart….get rid of your guns….isn’t having a child shoot his mother in one of your stores enough for you?….pay fair wages….that would be the start…

    • whatthe46 October 19th, 2015 at 00:54

      fingers in ears. sorry sweetie, but i don’t think they give a shit!
