Shaking my head Artsy... I'm not black, not that it makes a difference for kryst sake..the only point is to prove how they've cut back on employees.

How did you get that out of what I posted?

I mean they should indirectly hire more people by having more of their products made in the U.S.

I've honestly never been to a Walmart. It's not for political reasons, we just don't have any around here.

Hope their sales pick up soon.

Yep.

They have a lot of power yet they choose to use it to help employ Chinese workers.

They have stores the world over, why not have workers in those countries make some of the goods sold in those stores?

India has plenty of people willing to work. Why not employ Indians to make products for the Indian Wal-Mart?

Why not employ Americans to make products for products sold in American Wal-Marts?

Something similar happened at a Trader Joes too. It's not about cutting back employees but the embolding of idiots to do whatever the hell they want.

Wal Mart doesn't sell Nike products, but many other places do. Are you aware of their business practices?

How many small, mom-and-pop businesses has Wal-Mart forced into oblivion throughout the United States? Their success has been nothing short of disaster for too many people. So now their sales are down? Too bad. I feel much worse for all of their victims.
