I got my education when you were still breast feeding and shi++ing your diapers. I shop there because I enjoy spending as little as possible for the expendable things my family and I go through each and every year...alexmuw;4060766; said:It seems that this thread has been hijacked, but I'm going to give me 2 cents anyways.
I think they meant to say that Wal-Mart is stuffed full of cheap, Chinese made goods. The same goods that were once made by Americans 15-20 years ago. We can't blame only Wal-Mart, ALL big retail chains do this; maximize profit, minimize cost. It's the Great Race to the bottom. People fighting over the scrapes of "trickle down economics".
Sam Walton (the original owner) prided himself by offering ONLY American made items in the store (this was back in the 90s).
I WILL ALWAYS BUY AMERICAN ITEMS OVER CHINESE POS. I don't care if it costs a few dollars more, I take pride that I am willing to spend more to ensure an American family still has a job.
People only need to buy cheap, Chinese made goods, only because they make a crap wage. When people make more, they spend more; SIMPLE ECONOMICS! (you tax cutting conservatives should know this!)
And for the guy I quoted, look around, this is a very Populist viewpoint. You don't like it, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, and get out of OUR country!!! Get a damn education and think about what's best for America as a nation. You don't need to stick up for Wal-Mart, they have enough lawyers already on the job.
I support the hundreds of jobs that Americans, like myself, have done. Like the ones, who first off, work the docks, that the import goods cross.
Then the transportation industry, who by the way are also Americans, who are responsible for bringing these goods to market,
OH and we can't forget the tires, roads, diesel fuel, vehicles and such that I support that those people use.
And who are these people if not Americans who built the building and graded the land that the institution of WALMART sets on,
and maintains the roads i use to get there, paints the parking lot lines and waters the landscape, empties the trash and on and on and on...
Just because we as a country forgo the manufacture of goods that we can buy for less money overseas, doing so we can employ many many more just in the handling of these goods and bringing them to market. Let alone the wharehousing and delivery of these goods. Retailing and then after consumption, the removal and recycling etc....it goes on and on...
Pull your head out of your ass as well, open your eyes and believe in what you see...
If you would stop with the assumed Ideals and do some thinking of your own, and quit repeating something that you heard that sounded good to you at the time, you'd see there is good that comes from all this and it is spread all over and it is far reaching...all that and I can still spend less money to support more...
So how are you going to tell me about shi+ you don't even think about...I'm not one of you, I am not a jump on the bandwagon and conform to the "populist viewpoint"...I seen alot of that in my 52 years on this earth... you all that do that look like cattle heading for slaughter, makes my laugh so hard I piss myself....I will do what I do. when I want to, where I want to because I have earned every bit of what I have and the right to do so...So when you go off to work on Monday, to kiss the ass of that man who writes your check, so you can spend more than you need to...think of me, I'll be spending less for more at WalMart, and enjoying my retired years...count on it...
