Hey guys...it is not just flippers...or dog food...or peanut butter...or ???
China has no FDA or consumer protection agency. The bottom line is making it cheaper...with no safety guards in place. It used to be China made goods were the least expensive...and least quality...but it never was on a level to kill or injure you.
Our FDA is putting a halt to fish imported from China. Antibotics not listed as permitted in US. And of course other points. Next time you are in WALLY World...go read the label on the fish they offer. EVERY THING is from China. Tuna, Halibut, Talapia, Cod, Scallops, SHRIMP, all of it. New fresh dated packages...still coming in the stores.
Yes our food source is unsafe. But now flippers? We have been thinking we will have to start canning...and growing...but hadn''t thought about building my own shoes. Suppose there will be a market for hemp.

I have a moral/ethical aversion to Wal-Mart in general, (unfair labor practices to start) and here in Oregon, most neighborhoods FIGHT them & they wind up not being able to put a store in. They only go in areas that are very rural (where there are not many choices for shopping to begin with) or where there are no strong community/neighborhood associations.
I LOATHE Walmart. Won''t set foot in one.
I feel for their employeesDate: 7/22/2007 1:11:33 PM

I absolutely DO NOT shop at Walmart! Sorry to be so blunt, but I honestly do not understand, given what we all know about that corporation, why people still shop there. Are all the other discount stores as bad? I shop at Target, but I think I read that they also treat their employeed disrepectfully and give them poor wages.

Sadly, this doesn''t even surprise me, Wally worlds response that is....
I know. It's really sad. We have a local discount store (I think a smaller chain located in a few states) and the employees there use to be really nice and talked and interacted while checking out my purchases, but I've noticed w/in the last four or so months they've ALL quit talking. There was one "chatty" gal who is gone from the store. I think they fired her for talking too much. I just get the impression that management put their feet down on creating a decent work environment. (and I DO hate when the checkers take too long, but it's just UNNERVING when the clerk doesn't even look up once while ringing up groceries!)Date: 7/22/2007 2:02:13 PM
