Wal-Mart suddenly closed 5 stores and laid off thousands of workers and no one knows why
Wal-Mart suddenly closed five stores in four states on Monday for alleged plumbing problems.The closures could last up to six months and affect roughly 2,200 workers in Texas, California, Oklahoma, and Florida, CNN Money reports.
Wal-Mart employees say they were completely blindsided by the news, having been notified only a couple hours before the stores closed at 7 p.m. Monday."Everybody just panicked and started crying," Venanzi Luna, a manager at a store in Pico Rivera, California, told CNN Money. All workers will receive paid leave for two months. After that, full-time workers could become eligible for severance, according to CNN Money. But part-time workers will be on their own.
Local officials and employees have questioned Wal-Mart's reasoning for the closures.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Weird.
Why would plumbing problems lead to what seems to be permanent closures?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
