Is this a troll post?

You cannot be series? Go through Walmart from wall to wall. Look at ANYTHING manufactured. In travel. In camping. In electronics. Games. Gear. Small items to buy. Cooking goods. Houseware. Everywhere.

Stem to stern, almost EVERYTHING at our local Walmart about six months ago, was made in China.

I did see a hatchet, which was made in India. However others on the shelf there were made in China, as were everything else in the entire store aisle. Gear was all made in China. Manufactured good. Made in China. Aisle, after aisle, after aisle.

Everything I saw. Everything.

Made in China.

Now granted I did not shop for food, and I did not shop for clothes. I take it Walmart is starting to source those from even cheaper places than China.

But outside of those two things, basically every single thing I saw in the entire big store, which interested me anyway.

Was ALL MADE IN CHINA.

I am with Pittsburgh here. Nearly everything I buy from Walmart is US/Canada manufactured. Very little that I bring home from there is made in China, etc.

For those things that I do bring home from China, no one else selling those products are buying them from anywhere else because they aren’t made anywhere else.

This “Walmart only sells China stuff is BS”. They act like there is some miraculous store you can go into that sells the same products Walmart sells but that are manufactured in the US. Just isn’t happening.

So sad to see such silly envy on FR.

I take it you don’t have a factory job that pays minimum wage here in the good ole US of A. Would you pay double or triple for something of equal quality to have it stamped made in USA? Made in China is not something most shoppers care about these days. They want value for the dollar spent no matter where it’s made. There are better ways to MAGA than having more minimum wage factory jobs. Even at that goods produced by our minimum wage labor will never be competitive with cheap foreign labor. Time to get over it.

That’s fine but if JBL, Roku, SanDisk and HP are making their stuff in China that’s not their fault.

One thing I have noticed this year is almost all Nike and athletic wear is being made in Vietnam.

You can blame Wal Mart for making their in store brands there but it’s unfair to pin 1,000 companies that do so on them.

Hey I don’t like it but I think the biggest thing is as a country we failed to notice the change from made in Japan, to China to Vietnam.

That is not Wal Mart’s fault.
