[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tangerine-jack</i> <br /><br />Anyway, Globalization is a fact that cannot be ignored. It is here, it is not going away, so we must learn to live and work within that sphere. I support local manufacutures as much as possible, but sometimes they can't compete with the quality and price of the imports, quality being my deciding factor more than price. Wal-Mart is perhaps the evil being in all this as they dictate to the suppliers what the retail price of a product will be, then leave it up to the supplier to meet that price and still show some kind of profit, or else not do buisiness with Wal-Mart. The supliers then have no choice but to go to Mexico or China in order to cut costs. We are as guilty for buying the cheap products as "they" are for selling them.[oX)] <br />[/quote] <br />TJ, <br />Wal Mart hurt the mom and pop business and now it is coming back to hurt them with law suits even though to them might be small billion dollar and million dollar suits none the less I still miss the mom and pop shops I use to go in. <br />There still are some out there and I support mine in the surounding towns. <br /> <br />William
