Do you buy your clothes at Wal Mart?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so Where else do you go? The mall? Those stores don't treat their employees that great either. BBB is not a place I like to support much and target and other companies get their products from the same places. It might be better quality but it's not all made here, most made in china, Indonesia, India, Chile, Vietnam or other countries. Your expensive mall clothes come from those countries too. Where they have lax environmental laws, horrible labor/working conditions with no benefits (if we care about the people at walmart then why not these people too?), etc. In the end if its not here, you will prob. end up supporting it with your dollars when buying from someone else. There is a reason so many companies move their business or the labor portions/headquarters out of the U.S., they get away with a lot more and have limited to no regulations. Its just a giant circle. I watched a documentary on a girl who worked in a factory in China, it was awful, her life it was like she was owned not even a worker. The entire circle is terrible, but developed countries want their products and they want it cheap and thus the vicious cycle is created. Walmart is huge so you are going to hear about it, but other companies are no better so unless you stop spending your money at all of these kinds of companies then I guess I just don't see the point.

Edit: It was to long so I just cut out the last half of what I was going to say...
 
I don't shop at Walmart for anything. All of their stuff is junk, literally everything I've ever bought with the exception of 1 sleeping bag.

I get some work shirts and t-shirts there some time. I actually just bought a punished shirt there on Saturday.

'Everyone else does it so why bother'? Is that what we're getting at here?

Wal-Mart and malls are not your only options.

I start here for myself: http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/midlendres.html Their house brands are made in USA. We should pick out some nice threads from there for Ballin', I am sure he'd look swell in them. ;)

Let's be realistic. Every article of clothing on their home page is over $100. If that's what it costs to buy clothes made in the USA...no thanks. I'll pass.
