Enjoy. Amazon is going to take over Walmarks and turn them all into Amazon distribution centers..

After a remarkable market run over the last two years, its stock has nearly tripled in value to an astronomical $922, swelling Amazon’s market cap to $439.8 billion, which far surpasses the combined valuations of rivals Walmart, Costco, Target, Macy’s, and Kohl’s.

What a fricking waste of money. I take it they're of the liberal "do the opposite of society because it's so edgy and progressive" school of thought.

Yea but there's still only 2 lanes open at the Walmarks


Maybe in Louisiana, but not up here. A Walton could walk in any second and they keep them pretty flawless. Clean, most lanes open at all times, and you can understand the employees. It is beautiful.

You don't have to be a liberal to appreciate amazing art. Not to mention, it's their money they can do with it as they please.

I never said you had to be. Either you're an artist, or you're not. You teach yourself through practice and finding what expresses your emotions. Art schools have created a lot of jobless dolts that are in debt and begging for student loan forgiveness and pissed they actually can't be what they want to be.

And yes, it is their money, but don't think for a second their dad wouldn't be shaking his head. They could have given $100,000 to 1200 deserving low income individuals, yet they choose an art school, which will add little to no value to the economy or country.

It would take all of the clay in the lower 48 to make a life size model of Bert.

The Walton Family is too rich to waste money. They will never say "oh shite we overspent there."

Or maybe they appreciate art and want to encourage it at the school they patronized

If they were trying to be edgy/progressive and boost their image, they'd have donated it to a edgy/progressive art school

Most of what you buy on Amazon you can't get at a Walmart.

Walmart is doing fine, and has only just begun pushing online sales. Walmart already owns thousands of "distribution centers" for online sales nationwide, and is building "fulfillment centers" as we Rant.

Nothing happening over the next decade changes the fact that there are about 5 people living in Bentonville/NWA whose combined net worth is $150 Billion with a B.

Alice keeps her primary address in Texas for tax purposes, but spends most of her time in Bentonville near the museum these days. She has no heirs.

I can't believe we are this far into the thread and we don't have a reference to "we didn't come here to paint" yet. Man, I'm disappointed.
