Even if you try to find products made in America you can't! Believe me I've looked.

Maybe in ten years you won't be able to find the huge space and energy wasting Retail bricks and mortar acreage where half the towns cars spend half their time in the vast parking lots.

My wife and I befriended a Gradute Chinnese Student who had a 16 year old daughter back in China. She bought a some clothes just after Christmas and sent them back to her daughter.

The reply was "couldnt you buy any American made Clothes for me".

The trick is that MalWart's market share and their business practices are why you can't find American-made products at Other stores. They have that much clout. Production costs have to be cut to the bone to meet their price point (to increase THEIR profit margin). Competing producers either move their operations offshore or fold.

(and they don't necessarily have the lowest prices either. They're big believers in the old 'bait & switch')


Now we buy from the Communist Chinese.... and they lend us the money to pay for it. Our own factories go silent as we go further into debt. It's incredible.


This Just In from the Detroit Motor Show..... Chinese electric cars in two to three years at half the projected price of the Chevy Volt.

It's like they were anti-Communist until they figured out how to make a buck off the cheap Chinese labor force.

Then they reversed course 180°.

He needs to find something to do with his time. Like a Jay Oh Bee. I'm thinking a Walmart greeter.

thanks for the link Treebait. IMO he makes it seem like unions are the main people who hate wal-mart. i know lots of non-union people who hate it too :)

Sounds like Platt hates unions.... perhaps he left Britain to escape them,   < VBG >

Nice, Stovie let's his fellow tax payers and co workers pay him to sit at home, even though he's capable of working, and then brags about it. I find nearly every single person I know who lives this type of life is very bitter and not very happy at all even though they get a free ride.

Yall do remember that SS was gainfully employed for around 30 years and only took early retirement after he had a stroke at a much too early age...doncha?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Sort of like people getting tax rebates, yet they don't pay taxes. I forgot about the new rulz.

Give Nigal a break, guys. I hurt his feelings when I made fun of markO's living off his wife, after markO made fun of my stroke problems. I must have hit to close to home, in his mind.
Nigal is different from MarkO because Nigal has tried to improve himself.

I paid my wife's tuition, dildo.

I only made reference to you jerking off with "your one good hand" after you kept at me in your usual "un-relenting azzhole" manner, Stonie.

You poke the dog with a stick until it bites you and then cry to yo' momma that you are being picked on.

typical...

You two are like the Jews and the Palestinians. You've been hitting each other in the nuts for so long you probably don't remember what first started it.

If anyone here is idle or lame enough perhaps they could search the threads and they will find that Stovie posts my name, un-provoked, a hell of a lot more than I do his.

And when I post something about HIM, un-provoked, it's usually something inane.........that means "goofy".

When I see my name posted by HIM I'm usually accused of something heinous like, mass-murderer, America-hater, terrorist-lover, communist, marxist, socialist or silly libby(the worst by far!).
