Since when do Americans “do business “with their government in this fashion?

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Donna Morris' base pay is not public but just 2024 her BONUS ALONE was $8 million. And based on current market price her Walmart stock grants is worth $53 million.
According to Walmart itself the typical "associate" earns $18.25/hour nationwide. Less so in other countries.
