Today, our living standards are as high as they have every been.
Slightly off subject, but the "living standards", hygienically speaking are definitely Third World in any WalMart I've been to....filthy, sticky-floored pigstys.
They're opening one of the Super Wally's here next year, with grocery department - if they don't improve the cleanliness, the health authorities'll shut 'em down.
I'm in total agreement with you. WalMart is a synonym of pigsty. Nasty, filthy stores full of crap from China. My husband (I refuse to go in that store) bought 5 items there yesterday. I looked at the packaging for them, every single one of them say "Made in China".
