WalMart Doubles Down On Hurricane Harvey Relief

[RedNeckGeek]

WalMart is matching every dollar donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey relief with two more dollars of their own. Here's an easy way to help Texans get back on their feet, and make your donation go three times as far:

Walmart donated $10,000,000 to a local television station fundraiser yesterday.

J.J. Watts created a fund with a goal to raise $200,000. He has raised $10,000,000 from NFL players.

J.J. Watt raises $1 million for Harvey relief fund and isn't finished - The Washington Post

J.J. Watts is an amazing individual. He once ordered pizzas delivered to every fire station in the City of Houston.

No matter where his career takes him, he will be a hero in Houston forever.

The NFL needs more J.J. Watts (now $14 million) (and fewer Kaepernicks now $0)

The Walton clan are takers, not givers. They are getting something big in return.

Free publicity/marketing and a tax deduction.

Walmart takes in $36,000,000 every hour of everyday. So they can cover their $10,000,000 Harvey donation in 16 minutes.

The national interest right now needs to be focused on relief from Harvey across all states. Nothing else matters more at this moment.

I went to Walmart today and bought a little over $13 worth and at the self checkout, they had posted on each station $1, $2, $5 and $other barcodes. I wasn't sure how to do it, so I asked the young lady there, "How do I put a hundred dollars on here?" And she said, "I'm not sure it will take that much." But it did.:laughing:

Is that gross or net of expenses?
