call and raise are different my bro <| sep |> Just set mine up today , what a sight ! <| sep |> I ' m really only talking about the edge cases here . The cases where there are not enough jobs to go around to allow this kind of localonly economy to flourish . In these cases , the people running Walmart should recognize they are doing something wrong by offering only minimum wage with no benefits and endeavor to not be giant assholes who put profit above other people ' s needs . They have the power to at least provide wage enough to fuckin live and profit is not good a moral ground to refuse to do so . There are many solutions to this problem . The one we regular people can actually do something about is the one you ' re suggesting . Vote on it . But that doesn ' t absolve Walmart since they could solve the problem as well and should be held responsible for being the stereotype of an evil megacorp that would use any morally reprehensible trick , or any legal loophole to raise profit at any cost .
