I've always shopped at Wal Mart and will continue doing so. In addition to low prices, it provides jobs to many within a community. The 24hr Wal Mart super center is particularly convenient for night shoppers.

I don't buy that jobs are going overseas due to Wal Mart. It seems wherever I look, businesses such as fast food restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, shopping Centers ...etc) have many "Now Hiring" signs posted outside their windows. So jobs are there for those who want to work.

The reason they advertise for workers is because they are minimum wage jobs where for the most part employees are treated like garbage.

Why doesn't wal mart buy American (or CDN) made goods and therefore creating jobs in America(and Canada) instead of China?

I love wal mart :roll:

Perhaps an explanation of the Toon could help:


Wal mart= 300 minimum wage jobs

v.s.

1000 manufacturing jobs in yer own country

It's only about a certain cosmic law:

CAUSE and EFFECT

You liked cheap prices? You wanted bargains? You chose to shop at Walmart and Co? So pay the price now and enjoy the fruits of past actions - nothing can be done about it but to create _new_ production/distribution network.
