Cars alone don't count in this argument.

Yep let's just forget history. The US economy has gone through this before, with the big contractions in the steel and car industries in the late 70's and early 80's, and we are still here.

It is now happeneing after the dot com bubble. Some people move on, and find opprotunites elsewhere, others whine.

OH BTW, Wal-Mart is saying today that their sales projections are going to be on the high end.

You know the corporation that is the #1 retailer in the world, where people snap up cheap priced goods.

If their goods were pieces of crap, do you think that they would still be the #1 retailer?

Your boundless enthusiasm is touching but not quite contagious.

But thanks anyway.

Since I've been unemployed, if anything breaks, I buy the cheapest possible substitute. Then I hope it lasts long enough so that I have a job when it breaks in it's turn.

Or I just do without.

I hope you never have to go through a rough patch in your happy little life. But if you ever do, please try to learn something fom the experience...

With all this outsourcing debate getting so much mileage I went into a WalMart to see for myself just how crappy their merchandise was. It was worse than I could have imagined. I have nothing against you shopping there, however if you're into that whole redneck chic thing.
