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. |

It occurred to me the other day that folks who can afford to sit out camping for two days to save 500 bucks on a wide screen tv, probably don't need the 500 bucks anyway:) My ex and her family (probably 20 of them) will all meet tonight at one house with their sale papers and want lists and spread out over the state to different stores with their collective lists of this and that and hold their place in line. "You go to Walmart and be first in line, grab three of those TV's." "You and you go to this place and get the Camera for Mom and uncle harry". Trust me, they will push your mama out of line for that TV save let the rest of the family down... and like I noted above, not one of them "needs" to save a few bucks on any of it... Not to worry for you, what without a job or anything. |

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. |

Corporations and the uber rich are what is dumbing this country down and destroying families. Stay the hell home on Thanksgiving and make it a FAMILY day. We'll do an oyster roast with friends and family and then hit the water for some further socializing. I hope you do was well by those close to you.

Black Friday for Walmart ?
I just came back from my brothers house for the Thanksgiving dinner
and get together. I passed the local Walmart at approx. 7:45pm and the parking lot was PACKED with people even parking on the grass waiting for the 8:00 opening. People crowded outside the doors. But there were a couple of City and Sheriff cars parked out front. probably to make sure someone didn't get trampled or maybe to clean up the mess if someone did. Black friday- not good. |

Unfortunately a lot of those cars are parked there by the union thugs to keep legit shoppers from parking and shopping. It's typical of the Unions to not give a crap about anybody but themselves... They would "hostess" Walmart if they could... |

Some people succeed in life and others drop out of school and are lazy until they realize that they need some money. At that point Walmart and McD's may be their only options. They chose to be lazy slackers and now pay the price. It's simple enough. What about the corner store that was doing fine until Walmart came to town? The proprietor and his employees all made enough to live on. Not once Walmart took their customers with Chinese goods made by desperate workers at slave wages. 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. Makes you feel better if you think of them as lazy do-nothings? You're just another greedy **** who benefits by Walmart's low prices while you screw your fellow American. |

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. |

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.

I just came back from my brothers house for the Thanksgiving dinner and get together. I passed the local Walmart at approx. 7:45pm and the parking lot was PACKED with people even parking on the grass waiting for the 8:00 opening. People crowded outside the doors. But there were a couple of City and Sheriff cars parked out front. probably to make sure someone didn't get trampled or maybe to clean up the mess if someone did. Black friday- not good. Maybe we should take some lessons from the Japanese. Those folks seem to know how to do it. http://tinyurl.com/cchzqfp |

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.

Some people succeed in life and others drop out of school and are lazy until they realize that they need some money. At that point Walmart and McD's may be their only options. They chose to be lazy slackers and now pay the price. It's simple enough. What about the corner store that was doing fine until Walmart came to town? The proprietor and his employees all made enough to live on. Not once Walmart took their customers with Chinese goods made by desperate workers at slave wages.

Makes you feel better if you think of them as lazy do-nothings? You're just another greedy **** who benefits by Walmart's low prices while you screw your fellow American. Thank God for WalMart. Where would the poor and those on welfare and food stamps go to get their necessities? No one's accusing those business owners of slacking. They just charged too much for their goods - much of which came from China. |
