Socialist propaganda website Jacobin was the subject of a hilarious community note on X when posting an article about Walmart’s first-quarter profits.
The site posted the article “Walmart Is Still Putting Ebenezer Scrooge to Shame” on Monday, May 20. It described the retailer as “infamous for its starvation wages.”
