Interesting, I watched a program investigating some of the foreign based businesses Walmart buys from that violate many work practices here in the US, the workers interviewed faces were blacked out for fear of losing their job or worse, shed poor light on Walmart. When a company wants to sell products and provide consumers the cheapest deal, where do you think the goods are coming from?
Some major labels sold by high end retailers do the same, their products are produced in foreign countries where the employees are treated badly, reveals the greed IMO.
Would those folks starve and die over "there" if walmart or nike or whoever didn't buy from em? Many of these countries a person can live on a buck a day like kings.
It is a really bad sign. Things are going to be really bad by Nov.
I'm not sure I would make any time predictions but November would be as good a guess as any. The end of the year is typically bad for many folks what with Christmas time, property and income taxes.

No, Its not about the standard of living in their countries, I appreciate Walmarts effort to provide lower prices to grab consumers, the program was another mark against Walmart, as if they didn't have enough already. Some Americans do care about the work conditions they're buying from.

WHY is it about Obama when the article clearly states "Wal-Mart blamed bad weather last month in most U.S. regions and the early Easter on April 8, which pushed many Easter sales into March."
Do you believe Obama controls the weather as well as the Christian calendar?

Is this news to you? Are you unaware that many other companies manufacture their goods overseas under similar conditions, e.g. Nike?
