Wally world for sure, I worked for K-Mart whse. in Newnan for 12 years. When I went to work there it was a good place to work, it was hard work but good money and benefits. 1100 people working there then, now there's about 250 people in a 2,500,000 sq. ft. whse. I don't see how they are still even in business!? K-Mart SUX!!! Like soviet said, they stopped selling ammo after columbine too. I haven't been inside a K-Mart in over 12 years.
 
Walmart, the only thing Kmart is go for is every now and then you can get clothes real cheap. walked into Kmart and found t-shirts for 1.50 and collared shirts for about 3.00. But walmart way better for getting ammo and Firearms, Kmart quit selling this stuff.
 
China China China! We need to try to buy as much we can from the little guys downtown. Their prices are higher but at least we are helping a fellow neighbor and not sending all of our money to China.
 
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
