Our jobs are going overseas faster than they would have partially because
WALMART is so super aggressive in their buying.

It's directly on behalf of you the consumer, you don't "have" to buy
any particular thing; however they do "allow" you the choice. I know in
a socialist dream system free choice is to be crushed at every
opportunity, but you haven't got that far yet & hopefully never
will.........

When they want to carry
toasters, for example, they invite all the major manufacturers of toasters down
to Arkansas and pit them against one another. During the last cost cutting
cycle, everybody who wanted to sell anyhing to WALMART *had* to go to China for
labor or lose out.

It's referred to as "competition" Chuckster & I know you like to tag it
so it's only competition when it's "competition" on your terms i.e. you
win, but sorry competition is competition.


It's actually the fight for the bottom.

You *really* are a corporate whore, Karen.




China is not a "cheap" place to produce as such after all they're
communists like Harry:-) Small timers can't just swan into China &
exercise their free choice of factory or location like you're used to in
the US, no it's all govt. "planned".


China uses slave labor and labor that is grossly underpaid even by the
total absence of any sort of standards.




I've commented before don't be overly worried about China, so long as
they remain socialist we're safe.

Safe from what? You?





WALMART's vision for America is a place where a $9 an hour job, with no
benefits, is a *great* opportunity. They envision a country where obedient
workers volunteer
to work off the clock every week, and where all will shop a the "company
store."

This is protectionist poppycock & you have more brains than to just
parrot it.


It's absolute truth.

Yet another overwrought, right-wing post from Karen Elizabeth Smith of
Australia, who once again proves that she doesn't know scheiss from
shoepolish.

How's that non-existent factory of yours, Karen? Your production line is
up to what, zero diesel outboards a week? Cripes, you even stole someone
else's trademark.
