I got one for ya... Walmart vs K-mart!!!

[unclear.six]

see i understand the whole buy american thing... and I do when I can and its feasible. The thing, we are not in world war era with the buy american! help the war effort! We are living in a global economy where people and countries buy freely with one another. It is all based on value. My definition of value is getting the best quality product for the lowest price. So understanding that most items from china are cheaply made and most likely will not last long, I am willing to pay the higher bucks on something I can rely on IF it is something I need to rely on continuously.

For example, I would rather buy a 17 dollar made in china nail gun from harbor freight to build my fence than pay 300 for a high end american made model from home depot b/c I will build my fence... and most likely only use that nail gun for that project and mending in the future. If I was in construction and would need to rely on that nail gun for daily work then yeah, I would spring for a high dollar reliable model

I drive an American Jeep... but half those parts are made in china and assembled in mexico. You really cant get around it anymore. Its sucks, but thats the way the world is now.

Just looking at the items on my desk:

highend starplus networked phones - made in thailand
Eldor wire file basket - made in china
Dell Printer - assembled in mexico
solid oak desk - made in america
Scoth tape dispenser - made in america
Scanner - made in china
Pilot G2 Ink Pen - Made in japan
Swingline Stapler - Made in China
2 hole punch _Office depot brand - made in china

I'm sorry but I refuse to accept this.

If you guys have time, take a look at this. It's really eye opening.

It is tough to get around buying from abroad. Just one of those things now. But I am a Wal-Mart guy on most stuff and usually go once or twice during my breaks off from work. Example: I have found that a Wal-Mart near me sells the Ruger Mini 14. To me that is awsome. I have price compared and they have beat all the prices on the internet. I have a few gun shops I am going to call first, mom and pops type joints, and see what they have. If I don't find one at a better price, then off to Wally World I go for a new toy...

Walmart, it has much larger selection especially in sporting goods area, pretty much one stop shopping although one or two in my area has stopped selling guns and only carry very small inventory of ammo (I don't go in those).
