Thought you all just might enjoy this tidbit of info--it is amazing!!!!!!!




The math doesn't work for the first two lines.

WalMart also allows RV to spend the night in their parking lots - at no charge.
Of course, since there's nothing to do there but shop, that's what most folks
do. WalMart sells a lot of food to RV owners.

The problem with Wal-Mart is that they sold out America. When Sam
Walton was alive, "Made in America" meant something... now, it
doesn't.... at least, at Wal-Mart. I just choose to trade in a manner
that benefits *THIS* side of the border......

I have another issue with the dumbing of America. Wal-Mart has put a
lot of Ma & Pa stores out of business where, penny wise and pound
foolish, folks have forsaken the expert knowledge and help available
for a few shekels less for product.... and, actually, paid the price,
anyway, because Wal-Mart has contrived to pay their part time
"associates" at a rate that qualifies them for public assistance.
(Talk about both ends against the middle!) Anyway, a few years hence
and they can still buy *stuff* cheap, they just can't find any expert
advice from the *associates* trained only on the scanner....

The RV thing is one of the things I think works well for Wal-Mart....
it, amazingly, isn't necessarily a hooray for us to hell with you
thing, like the China (product) connection is. Wal-Mart has traded a
few square feet of unused parking lot for a few extra eyes protecting
their property.... equitable trade, I think.... RV shoppers are a
bonus....

What stores do you use that pay their associates so well and don't sell Chinese
stuff? Do you shop only in 'union' stores? The days of looking for the union
label are pretty much gone. Except for automobiles, the union label doesn't show
up on much. If we can learn anything from Ford, the label may gradually leave
automobiles also.

Watch and listen to the last couple lines:

While in Germany we toured the Mercedes plant in Stuttgart. Their assembly lines
are much like that shown in the video, with different models intermixed on the
same line.
