CHICAGO, IL - JANUARY 11: A sign hangs outside Walmart store on January 11, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. Walmart announced today it would use savings from the recently revised tax law to increase their starting wage to $11-per-hour, offer some hourly employees a one-time bonus up to $1000, expand maternity and parental leave benefits and will begin to offer adoption assistance. The company also disclosed today that it would be closing 63 of its Sam's Club stores across the US, costing thousands of workers their jobs. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Funny story:
Walmart posted LinkedIn job ads for Jerusalem.
Based on these ads, Israel’s leading financial outlet, @TheMarker, published a story that Walmart may be on its way to Israel.
Problem: job postings were for Jerusalem, Illinois.
