Walmart: Retail Giant Falling Into Terminal Decline...

[Arianrhod]

Who says I'm trying to make a point?? No one but you.

Just stating fact.

The fact is, you don't know that virtually every major U.S. corporation does business with China. So noted.

Of course I know that and apparently according to you everyone that you think doesn't know that is an idiot.

However. You are a condescending idiot. So noted.

Of course I know that.

And yet you linked to a Snopes page that contradicted your Big Reveal about Costco.

Which of these companies do you plan to be outraged about next?

American Corporations in China

 

[Claudette]

My big reveal?? Oh brother.

Like I and everyone else doesn't know that a lot of businesses do business in China.

You sir are an ass. So noted.

Mangled grammar aside, yes, now you do understand the connection between American corporations and China. If you'd had that knowledge yesterday, you wouldn't have believed you had some "dirt" on Costco.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, how do you feel about the comparison of Costco's business model with Walmart's?

You are the only one talking about what you consider "dirt" and someone else's supposed motives.

If someone wants to compare the companies more power to them.

Quite frankly I could care less.

You sir. Are an ass.

How much less could you care?

Yeah, I don't think Walmart carries very many if any products made in America. If they did that, they would have to raise their prices. This is a problem that really needs to be fixed. What's the solution?

Most American manufacturing jobs were outsourced decades ago. Can't put that genie back in the bottle.

But I wonder what percentage of goods sold at Costco are not made in America?

I have no idea because I've never shopped at a Costco. We have only like 1 Costco in my area. We have BJs which I believe is pretty much the same idea as a Costco, but I admit I don't usually check to see where the products are made.

Yeah, a lot of people like Walmart because it's just convenient.

 

[Arianrhod]

eBay?

I'm betting the spread there is similar to at Walmart

Exactly. I try to shop locally but sometimes it's just not possible. I will say Walmart has been taking steps to provide more produce from "local" farmers. While local might mean state or region wide, that is still better than foreign or from the other side of the country.

Ebay? I can buy it, but if I need it right now, Walmart is the place.

On Long Island Costco's prices and quality are far superior to BJs.

Actually Amazon's better. They offer one-hour delivery in some areas. Betcha Walmart can't do that.
