I can afford to hire someone to cut my grass. I can afford to hire a fulltime groundskeeper. But I continue to cut my own grass and do about 90% of the outdoor maintenance work, which is one of the reasons I'm not 40 lbs overweight and look is if my only exercise is using the remote control. I paid over $500 for my John Deer -- 16 years ago -- and it still runs better than the crap that Wallyworld sells.
Believe it or not, there are still people like me who appreciate quality products, which is why I will NEVER shop at Wallyworld. Indeed, I could hardly care less about low wage, uninsured workers. What I do care about is decent products that turned to crap once the manufacturers climbed into bed with the people from Bentonville. Levi's are now the cheapest quality jeans on the market. Vlassic pickles went from a top brand name to bankruptcy. I can go on. Note, however, I don't blame Walmart, because no one made Levi Strauss and Vlassic et al. sign a deal with the "devil." But I don't have to shop at Walmart and I don't.
Levi's really didn't have a choice. They were getting their clocks cleaned by other jeans brands.
