Oh, my this is the truth. Although I did see something made in Thailand.
agreed. it shouldn’t just say china, it should say everywhere else. also, food and many books are made in america if i’m not mistaken.
sorry, my teacher had us do an assignment on this.
it was extra credit.
I know! Whoops! I saw something from India…
Well, it wouldn’t be as cheap if someone getting a living wage was making it, so no surprise there
Let us proudly wave our American flags (made in China).
hehe
I’m glad someone else has pondered the atrocity of outsourcing the flag ffs to China. Could it get any more richly symbolic, especially as China takes on our debts and slowly buys the US?
Same as every other store. Sorry. Another inconsistent Walmart hater FAILS
… but some of us are old enough to remember Sam Walton’s “Buy American” heydey. On the other hand, it’s hardly news – see the 1992 dateline report on youtube.
I remember when Great Value products were all ‘Made in America,’ and yet they were all cheaper than the brand name products. I don’t at all understand what happened there.
Except Walmart encourages people to outsource. In fact, they encourage it after they get you to invest in increasing your production capacity for their purchases and go into debt. They encourage it by telling you that you will charge them a price on which you can’t make a profit, unless you outsource to China.
I once got something there that was either made in Thailand or Tibet. Can’t remember which. That was a long time ago, though.
Btw, I givest thou a link:
http://notalwaysright.com/all-roads-lead-to-china/2323
If it actually works as a link. If not, just copy it and paste it in your adress bar. It shall take you to evidence of people being far to convinced that everything in America is made in China.
what’s even more stupid is how despite how tons of people go on and on about how walmart is evil, or how outsourcing is bad, or about how macdonalds is no good, people still do it anyway, as if nothing has been learned.
The same can be said for a LOT of other stores. :/ So this graph is pointless.
Not to mention boring.
Caps
Not tires anymore.
All of the corn syrup in the food products is proudly made in the U.S. of A.
Change the “Wal Mart” to ANY other store in the U.S. and the chart is still accurate.
The only things “made in America” are babies and unemployment.
Exactly! Try shopping for a sister in law who refuses to give anything to her kids that’s made in China. Damn near impossible.
Is she wealthy?
Know their name & look them in the eye to do your part.
Buy local from your craftsman/farmer and keep an American in business!
I am not made of dollars. If I was, I would not rip my finger off to pay money.
What about Japan and Germany? =/
LOL typical america
I love the way rednecks talk the most about “made in the USA,” but buy the most Christmas ornaments made in China, often by children. China still continues to persecute Christians, too. Walmart has made some baby steps in the direction of being ‘greener,’ but they’ve got a long way to go before they can claim ethical retailing!
Isn’t that the truth… some of the worst China-haters are the ones that do the most shopping for seasonal decorations at mass market stores, and we all know where ALL of that is made.
Sam Walton wanted products made in America to keep his customers employed.
His children don’t care at all. They want to see the United States of Wal*Mart.
And their “greener” initiative. They pursue it here in the USA, but not for their suppliers internationally.
I heard a ridiculous statistic that 10% of China’s exports go to WalMart. IKEA isn’t much better in their American stores. But in Europe, where the customers demand their items be made locally, almost everything is made in Europe. I’m not a Redneck, but insist on voting with my dollar by buying things made in the USA to reduce our consumption of the oil used to transport things overseas. (And yes, I’m aware that trucking something across the continent is actually worse than shipping something across one ocean–Luckily I’m in California where all the cool stuff is anyway).
Or we could do something DRASTIC like use our pre-existing railroad infrastructure again and get some giant, potentially dangerous big rigs off the road.
But that would be like, intelligent or something.
I think the “made in USA” slice is a little too big, actually.
In other news, water is wet.
Walmart is of the devil.
I bet you shop there anyways.
