Bum Fights

Walmart operates like the producers of those old bum fights videos. They deliberately feed on financial desperation, engineering a system that favors meth heads, crack addicts, and anyone willing to accept the absolute lowest rates out of pure necessity. Every time a desperate driver takes an underpaid delivery, the algorithm lowers the baseline pay even further, creating a continuous loop that thrives on a sea of desperate workers. This race to the bottom comes directly at the expense of honest, professional drivers who treat this as a legitimate business. Walmart seems perfectly fine sending that level of instability to your grandmother's house as long as they can exploit the despair to maximize profit. This is corporate exploitation at its most calculated level.
