Not surprised nor shocked.
Criminals covering each otherâs asses.
A fine would not be a sufficient deterrent, the DEAâs Dhillon added, since Walmart âhas more money than it knows what to do with.â
âNot that thereâs anything wrong with that,â Rosenstein responded, according to five people familiar with the investigation. âWe are all capitalists here.â
Sure weâre complicit in killing people and destroying families but hey - Capitalism, Baby!
OT
Not even surprised. If this kind of stuff is coming to light now it really lays out why Trump will do anything, including killing thousands of Americans, to keep power. He knows he and half of his administration are going to jail for many years if they are replaced with a Democrat.
Jackson Browne too. Still kind of remarkable to hear about celebrities getting in on the fun but I suppose that wonât last.
Half the nightly news amounts to dumb fucks and assholes â who are too stupid or entitled, respectively, to follow instructions â completely undermining everything responsible adults are working so hard to achieve.
Instead of the diversion from this reality that I desperately needed, I see instead that WalMart is just another really big asshole. No wonder the Rump House is sympathetic.
Walmartâs Chief Counsel is also fomer Trump Administration US Deputy Attorney General, Rachel Brand. She was in line to be the AG if Sessions and Rosenstein got fired, back when everyone was under the misapprehension that Rosenstein had integrity. She also, if I am not mistaken, appeared in a TV ad praising Neil Gorsuch when he was nominated by Moscow Typhoid Mitch to the seat stolen from President Obama and Merrick Garland by the Treasonous Scumbag Democracy Stealing and Killing GOP.
Imagine how pleased Sam must be with the way his progeny are handling his company
This is a great âMericanâ company. People should not badmouth a company that sends employees to the food stamp offices to apply. That pays zero or very little in taxes at the county, state and federal level. That founding members families employ undocumented and insist they are entitled. And there is much much much more about the great âMericanâ company that we as citizens should be very proud of.
You forgot to add a company that takes over small towns and puts local businesses out of business. My nephew has worked at several, rising up in the ranks and now is a store manager.
No matter, have not, will not step a foot into one even if itâs the only toilet paper in town.
When I saw this story, Iâm sorry to say that my first thought was âthat may settle the succession questionâ.
Just another piece of evidence that Rosenstein is scum. The statute of limitations on their offenses will not have expired in 2021, this should be on the list of things-to-do for a Dem AG. There should be criminal prosecutions, prison time and massive fines for all those involved.
Hopefully this will lead to a mass of class actions on behalf of those who died from opioid subscriptions filled at Walmart. Let them drown in legal fees and judgments.
Save money, undermine Democracy.
Drug cartels are capitalists too.
Walmart has historically been willing to spend big money on aggressively defending itself. Gender discrimination. Failure to pay overtime. Seating issues. Itâs baked into the business model precisely because itâs more profitable than being ethical.
I have long thought that the US war on drugs was simply a way to help Purdue Pharmacy maintain its opiod pharmacy.
A few weeks ago I went to the dentist for some work. I am pretty pain tolerant. When the procedure was over the dentist demanded that I take a script for some opiod or other. I told him I didnât want it, but he insisted anyway. I took it from him. He seemed relieved like he had to shove the script into my hand. I never filled it.
The entire medical establishment seems to be beholden to the drug pushers from big Pharma.
the Walmart heirs now have a combined wealth of $163.2 billion, which is more than Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett. In fact, they are worth more than $70 billion more than the second-richest family in the United States, the Kochs.
oh how I wish I was born a walmart. lol
not really, probably been dead by 20. drugs, speed, alcohol and many other having fun items right up to the big crash. lol
Bit it is nice to have the DOJ in your christmas card list
