Exactly, also Amazon is the king of these tactics. It is also late-stage capitalism, or better put, crony capitalism. Capitalism is suppose to be about free and open trade, but these predatory tactics make it unfair for competition, especially for medium to small businesses. This is partially why we in the US are in decline....and groceries cost more than they should.

Most of those products coming from China where they pay their lowest 50% a wage that is double what our lowest 50% get.
Of course they won't, years of docile programming via reality TV shows, and ma sports!
Don't forget, they also charge for every little thing. Fly United, and don't forget all our add-ons.
As the OP posted, Christy Walton, ie Walmart family, is funding this NO KINGS charade, points to the bottom of the adds showing she is paying for this. He also points out she is worth nearly 20 billion dollars. Do you think Christy is involved in authoritarianism causes or human right abuses? NO! He points out in articles that Walmart is the biggest corporate welfare queen (no shock,) and that they (Christy) are doing this to preserve cheap labor so they don't have to pay. He compares China's lowest 50% to ours. China's lowest 50% holds twice as much wealth as our lowest 50%. He points out China, where we get all our cheap goods, is able to pay their workers, and the US somehow.....cant. It is all about corporations, and in this case, Walmart specifically, not wanting to pay a living wage and preserving this.
Edit to add, he also points out the irony of a NO KINGS protest against a KING, funded by an OLIGARCH.
Good, well done, but they used him as an scapegoat for all the others in that industry. Now its back to predatory practices as usual in Hollywood.

X11 drama.
They are all planning to move to Wayland, even the OS's. Gnome first, KDE is still untangling X11 from Kwin, but expected to drop it with KDE7. It is time.
