I have an update on the above article I wrote the other day and it's very good news. It was found by a reader who told me about it in the comments. The love and solidarity shown to Chad Willoughby by the people ofTaylorsville
has triumphed over the heartless and mindless corporate bureaucracy that stripped
him of his livelihood. The fundraiser raised US$6000 and that helped keep a
roof over and food on for him and his family while he was unemployed, but I'm
pleased to say another supermarket snapped him up very quickly. The grocery chain
Harmons is a smaller institution than the global giant Walmart. It was founded
in 1932 and has just twenty branches only in the state of Utah .
They have given Chad
a similar job as a cashier in their store in the nearby town of Sandy .
Just like in the Taylorsville Walmart, he has quickly developed many admirers
among the local residents who shop there. One of them, Candee Allred, organized
a party for him in the shop's cafeteria. His customers cannot sing his praises
loudly enough. They say he cheers them up whenever they're feeling down. No
doubt this has increased the shop's popularity and therefore profit. His supervisor
puts it very well: "His former employer's loss is definitely our gain."

There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world right now and
sometimes the evil seems overwhelming. It seems invincible, marching onwards
with nothing and nobody willing and/or able to stop it. But we can stop it. The
saga of Chad Willoughby proves that the light can defeat the darkness. (I will
copy this article to the HPWA because I wrote a version of the background one
there.)
