Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers!

....Did you know?!?...Wal-Mart is the largest and richest corporation in the world. They are also the largest importer of Chinese goods. 10% of all Chinese imports are imported by Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart even established its own global procurement division this year, abandoning the pretense to its traditional "buy American" campaign. This team searches the globe for the cheapest raw materials, manufacturers and shipping routes. They allow Wal-Mart to relocate factories from one country to the next in its endless quest to squeeze countries for lower wages and cheaper goods.

..this means people, that Wal-Mart has a bunch of fucking sweat shops around the world and pays their workers next to nothing while they work 18 hour days to make your life more affordable. STOP. THINK. what are you really contributing to?

It's not smart to use resources outside of america because the american people suffer for it. There aren't any health codes and things are made cheaply. The majority of Americans suffer because they can't afford anything better. because jobs have been moved outside the country and stores have been put out of business because a walmart moves to town. It may still be the wealthiest corporation in the world but at least myself and people who believe in my ideals will leave the world knowing they did not support a money grubbing company like walmart, or sweatshops, or anti american business.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm saying that Walmart coming to semi small towns where people have done such things as open up their own stores puts them out of business.
Is that their fault that walmart decided to ruin their dream? and cause them financial instability no. and im sure you think they should just get another job. okay, in this economy i really don't see where. the unemployment rate is extremely high and almost no one is hiring. is the unemployment rate your fault no, but it is large corportations fault like walmart for causing the unemployment in the first place. these people are not uneducated im sure they had business degrees to do such a thing as run a store. moreover, Not everyone has the option to go to school. even worse by using companies out side of the united states they also put large companies that make things that walmart sells out of bussiness which also puts a lot of hardworking people out of work. is it their fault they lost their job because walmart wanted to be cheap and not pay for safely manufactured products. NO. it's really not. This is why they cannot afford better because walmart and corportations like it do these things which create these problems for people. people who are "doing something" with their life and making good money don't really have to deal with these problems because they can choose to shop elsewhere but no matter where you shop the people servicing you are of this large group of people that corportations constently fuck over--those who you don't care for because they somehow deserve their "poor" life--just remember it's those people who make your food, sell you things, clean your car, house, whatever, and it's never a good idea to fuck with those who service you. no one is asking you to pay for those more unfrotunate then yourself. All I am saying, All I ever was saying is that Walmart does these immoral things. I do not agree with them, I choose not to shop with them and most importatnly I want to inform people so that they can make an EDUCATED decision about whether they want to shop there or not. The only reason you love this corporation is because it's done nothing but benefit you but if you were on the other side of the fence you would be able to see my point. That and you obviously have no concern for those of lesser means. but to each to their own.; ▶ Reply to This
