Great thinking there. Lets have one hundred $10 workers sell sweat shop items made overseas so that 1000+ skilled American workers can lose their jobs. Super strategy. I very rarely go to Walmart. The place makes me sick.
The purpose of buying clothes is to be clothed, not to employ Americans in South Carolina doing "skilled" work. I am as interested in what they do for a living as they are in my career. If the shirt fits, looks good, is decent quality, at a good price, I'll buy it. That's my clothing strategy, which works fine. As for world economics and the retail and textile industries as a whole, it's not for me to say. I have no expertise and nothing to do with it.
