“If Wal-Mart ever goes union, there will no longer be any reason to shop there.”

There are no unions in China, where Walmart buys more & more of their stuff. Remember the Sam Walton days when Wallie Mart proudly placed “Made in America” stickers on the products they sold? That died with Sam.

How many things in our lives are actually Made In America nowadays? Very few, other than toiletries and some big ticket items. Shoes, Clothing & Textiles, Furniture, Small appliances and electronics, almost all those things are now foreign manufactured. Even if you wanted to, you could not procure enough parts to make a fully American made radio or TV set. If we ever get into a fullscale war like WWII where we need our heavy industries and mfrg base, we are in a big hurtin........
