“gives consumers VALUE for LESS money”
They give you lower quality products at a cheaper price. Only to someone with low standards or low income is that a bargain. WMs prices on decent products are not lower. I have personally found many products higher priced than other retailers. WM has SOME good products cheaper and those are the products they like to advertise to the world.
The damage WM does to America’s economy as a whole is frightening. When they used to find products in the far corners of our country and give them national distribution, that was an economic powerhouse and great for this country.
Now WM tries to browbeat companies into providing products at prices they cannot provide then run to China and get the product cheaper, thereby causing the American worker to lose their job. You might have gotten a cheaper product for now, but what happens when it is you that loses your job? Is it fair China can produce a product cheaper because they do not have to obey our laws, such as labor laws or environmental laws or tax laws? Isn’t WM cheating by getting around our laws? Of course they are.
How about if your job is not directly affected by WM purchasing? You are still affected because the guy who lost his job was your customer, but not any longer.
And how about those cheap Chinese knockoffs? What are they made of, lead, chemicals we ban from products? Yep. But, hey, you or your child might be dying and you or your neighbor might be out of work, but damned if you didn’t get that drill $5 cheaper! It might wear out in 3 months, but it was cheaper!
Of course it's fair. If the Sheeple support labor, environmental, and tax laws that are incompatible with efficient business, then they have no right to blame China for out-competing them. They can just consume the cheap Chinese goods. They must either accept the economic loss or make up for it by success in other economic areas.
