People say, how can it be bad for things to come into the United States cheaply? How can it be bad to have a bargain at Wal-Mart? Sure, it’s held inflation down . ... But you can’t buy anything if you’re not employed. We are shopping ourselves out of jobs.

In the meantime, unemployment is the lowest it ever gets and illegal aliens stream across the border for non-existent jobs at the rate of 2,000 per day.

But go ahead and say "we are shopping ourselves out of jobs." It's not like you can be held accountable or anything.

Exactly said and I should care that they are unable to unionize Walmart. Attention Walmart haters - get a clue.

I know this is from "American Conservative" but this article smacks of socialism.

"A former Vlasic executive comments that consumers would “eat a quarter of a jar and throw the thing away when they got moldy."

Wow, a Vlasic exec who doesn't even know what pickling does. Maybe tht's why your company went belly-up. I can assure you, large jars of pickles sat unrefrigerated on the counter at a c-store I worked at. I have never seen a moldy one.

"Fishman discerns the same “devastating success” among other suppliers, from Huffy bikes..."

Huffy bikes are crap and have been ever since the onset of a host of US companies in the 70's who made good bikes out of quality materials that would last. Mongoose is an example. Wal-Mart now caries them. We learned the difference between a good bike and crap, Huffy did not. Nice of the guy to blame Wal-Mart, though.

Jeez, I could go on and on through this dung-heap of an article.

Of course there's plenty of jobs.

I know more than one guy who has two or three of them.
