Found this in another article, regarding their CEO Tim Wentworth's pay:

Mr. Wentworth will receive an initial base salary of $1.5 million and will be eligible for an annual bonus with a target payout of 200 percent of base salary under WBA's corporate bonus program, according to an Oct. 11 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He will also be eligible for long-term incentives through the company's omnibus incentive plan on terms and conditions set by the compensation committee. Subject to board approval, WBA will also provide Mr. Wentworth with an initial equity incentive award with a grant date value equal to $12 million, which is expected to be comprised of 50 percent performance stock units and 50 percent restricted stock units, each vesting over three years.

Is it out of line to say this asshole is basically stealing thousands of people's livelihoods?

No, that is a fair assessment of the situation.

Just wait for him to bring in a consulting firm, if they haven't already, and really fuck some people over.

Are they any less ethical than gestures to every other retail and pharma company?

Yes because they intentionally chose to not sell abortion drugs across the country because a couple of States outlawed them.

Rite aid didn't do that shit.

I’m not seeing anything that says Rite-Aid sells it in states with a ban. Not in your article or anywhere else (in 3 minutes of trying to google it)

Of course they're not going to sell it in states with a ban but Walgreens is not selling it in states that don't have a ban, so fuck em.

Untrue. I mean, accordiong to your year and a half old article, sure. But again, in 3 minutes on Google I found plenty about Walgreens selling it
