I won't attend. now matter what they want to give away to get people
in the door.
Neither will I. The whole idea is dumb but they still have people
lined up around the block for these things.
I'll be drinking coffee and reading the paper.

Funny, we have some Indian contract developers here that are
excited about going. They are planning to buy laptops and
tablets and are going to ship them back home. They say that
electronics are much cheaper here than in India, and it's worth it to them.

I remember being in Tokyo about twenty years ago, and thinking
I'd buy a new 35mm camera. Got the sticker shock of my life!
Far less expensive to buy one in the states than over there, at
least in the camera shops I checked.
I sold a couple of old 35MM cameras, lenses etc for a ridiculous price
to a guy in China (on Ebay) and I had 3 people there bidding.

I still think these things are available on the internet cheaper than
in a store, unless it is some kind of door buster where only the first
couple in line actually get one.
My wife just scored 2 WII/U consoles for less than list.

Our main parts supplier for the bike racing will match any valid
internet price on most parts and such... And overnight them to me too.

However, I may just go and spend a couple dollars at Walmart on Friday,
dogfood or anything to stick my middle finger up at the Union thugs who
want to "Hostess" Walmart...
Yeah, **** those workers who are helping Walmart sell billions of
dollars worth of Communist Chinese goods to your fellow citizen, so
the Waltons can be worth a collective $89 billion. That's equal to
the holdings of the bottom 41% of all American citizens.

You tell 'em, Freaky.
Don't you wish your dad had set you up better than being just an angry
man who covets "fine German screwdrivers."
LMAO!
"Set me up better" sounds like you come from a nanny state. Couldn't
make it on your own, Bertie?
I got pushed out of the nest at an early age and never went back.

The Waltons are worth 89 billion while their employees use state
supplied health care through emergency rooms. They earn wages that
aren't enough to live indoors and eat.
Do you pay everyone at "your" company the same wage regardless of their
job? How about showing us your books in the name of fairness and
transparency?

**** these American workers, you righties will side with Communist
Chinese before you admit to being ****ing idiots.
The economic system that has enabled more people with little means and
lots of energy to rise to the top of the lot and it is called free
enterprise.
I don't think 'free enterprise' is high on the priority list of liberals
and other socialists.
Didn't you spend your work career sucking on the government teat?
Is that different than the union teat, Krause?
Don't forget that he's a tax cheat, so he's riding on everyone's coat
tails.
I know that now.

It's happened thousands of times across America. Those busineess
owners weren't slackers or lazy. They were forced out of business by
sharp businessmen who kept all the profits for themselves while they
pay their employees **** wages and offer prices the local businessman
cannot compete with because their business model is subsidized by the
low wages and crappy benefits offered to desperate workers. Those
employees go to emergency rooms for health care after they reach stage
4 cancer because they cannot get rudementary care. Their kids eat
using food stamps.
How many of those Mom and Pops had insurance or any other benefits for
the people who worked there?

If people didn't shop price, there would not be a walmart.
Ahhh....greed...it matters most in America .
You showed a photo of your beloved printer. You boasted about your
