Most of those products coming from China where they pay their lowest 50% a wage that is double what our lowest 50% get.

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.

Walmart, the biggest corporate welfare queen.

This is a good take on Christy and Walmart and the real reason they are funding the No King events.

It is the first thing the poor utilize when desperate, gaming that has all odds against them. Yeah, there should be stricter laws and regulations. Right now, I would consider it a predatory industry.
