I don't understand the 99% support for two spoiled brats fighting for control of the family

supermarket business??? It's not even a publicly held corporation, no stock involved.

Is this just a good "master" vs a bad "master" thing.

Seems one of them wants to do ALL The right things by EVERYBODY and the other wants to do what Walmart does daily, make profits while destroying communities and families.

Yeah, they both may come from wealth, but one of them is acting like a responsible adult, the other is acting like a republican.



p.s. it is easy for me to care about the employees and the community, even though I dont own any stock

but that is just me

This chain has the good fresh food and at the lowest prices in the area and treats their employees decently. We don't want to lose this.

Maybe some of these demonstrations will rub off on Wall Street.
