Default Re: OT Do you care were the products you buy are made

Wal-mart is a particularly bad and unpatriotic (for people who care about such things) company and I don't even step foot in one. They are driving down the wages of the average worker:

by forcing manufacturers to ship out jobs overseas so that their prices are low enough so that wal-mart will buy from them

AND

by causing competitors to lower prices and ultimately lower wages to compete with them.

It's ironic (if I may use that word) that the people whose job they are costing are the very same they expect to come in and shop in their store.

It's a downward spiral.
