Wahh wahhh wahhh wahhh Man, why are my fellow americans so damn used to griping and complaining. Maybe thats the reason we're getting crushed in manufacturing.
Everyone wants cheap but nobody wants crap quality. So if you outsource or import you are damned and if you build it in the US you are fucked.
Stop hating on Walmart for succeeding. There will THOUSANDS more like it down the pike. It is the future.

Everyone of course focuses on optimizing prices, but Wal-Mart uses its size as levarge so it affects other companies which may not want to out source overseas and forces them to do so. That is more a tactic of a monopoly than a fair business, which is why there are regulations against monopolies in the US. What it does to its own workers is one thing, but forcing its suppliers to modify their business practices, that is room for argument.
