Why do some people bash Walmart and praise Bezos?

I've never heard Walmart bashed on that basis. It's usually "muh mom n pop"

Well here is a quick little tidbit where they got Virgina to steal land through eminent domain.
The state considered Livinia Blackburn Johnson another human being’s property when she was born into slavery, two years before the end of the Civil War.
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 gave freed slaves like Johnson the ability to own property. In 1899, under the provisions of that law, Livinia Johnson purchased a plot of land along Carver Road in what eventually became the town of Haymarket, Virginia.
Now, the Dominion of Virginia is seizing the land Johnson purchased, in order to build an Amazon data center. Her descendants have lived in Haymarket for the last 118 years. They are required by law to sell their land to Dominion Virginia Power, which will use it to build towers that will bring power to Amazon’s facility.
Should trigger all you lefties. Slavery, Evil Corporations, and eminent domain
