Stupid or thoughtless, doesn't really matter. The fact is there are American made TV's contrary to the theoreticians on this thread. If that poster could not find information that took me 2 seconds to find with Google, then they are stupid. If they buy a TV at WalMart because it's cheap and convenient, then they are stupid because it will probably break sooner than any other TV they could purchase.
If they buy a TV at WalMart because it's cheap and convenient, then they are stupid because it will probably break sooner than any other TV they could purchase. Then take it back and get another one.
But, of course, it won't break, because Wal-Mart sells the same stuff Target and Costco, and Sears and other retailers sell, only cheaper.
Have you even been in a Wal-Mart lately? You ought to go, then you'll realize you've been paying too much for some of the same stuff.
