Old Henry Ford was smarter than Krap Mart, and lots of others in today’s corporate world; gotta’ pay enough for them to buy what they make, or not need to make it.
In one story-track of the 2009 film, “Mr. Nobody,” Mars is intensely colonized and bicycles are made there for export to Earth. A character explains it’s cheaper that way than making them in China. Soon after, a meteoric swarm destroys the ship and all the bicycles stream slowly out into space. .Yes, this is a plug for “Mr. Nobody,” a film of the type I would make. Choose to watch it, or choose not to watch it. “You have to make the right choice. As long as you don’t choose, everything remains possible.”
Walmart actively encouraged its venders to move production overseas so to be able to sell it to Walmart at a cheaper rate. I’ve all but eliminated my impulse buys be refusing to buy on impulse any item made in China.
To treat the issue fairly the cartoonist should portray the woman in the last panel to poor and mother to a couple of trailing kids, since the poor and their children have benefited most from the availability of cheap consumer goods from stores such as Wal-Mart.
Bob: Ford also called out the Army to later shoot down unions so he could avoid paying those salaries later. NO, Henry was NOT the “working man’s friend”, but what he’s quoted on saying, is true.
“Hatred of Walmart is petty and you’re a liar.”Who are you calling a liar, and what are you claiming they lied about without offering any support to back up your claim?

The government does not force people to work for nor shop at Wal-Mart despite the impression that mal-contents want everyone to have.

Just another way for the government to help subsidize big business.

And the supreme court has set it to allow big box to confiscate your property because big box can bring more tax revenue to you community.
