I hope some good financial guys join this thread, because at some point Walmart is going to have to bring some of its factories here. Am I wrong with these conclusions I have? If so what will they do. Probably lots of money on their stock so that’s one struggle. I know they have K street lobbyists are working on this.
Thoughts if you would

What is a “Walmart” factory? They sell all the same shite as other places like Target and Amazon.

Yeah I’m confused too unless they have “Great Value” “factories”.

If you do business in China you have to build a factory to build your product. If you build factory it is Chinas. I know there are some good money men that know more than I and I just wanted to get their thoughts

I love Walmart. Whenever I go to the states I just wander around the aisles for hours.

That said, I'm perfectly fine with spending 20 dollars on a toaster instead of 10.

And not one of them is made in a "Walmart" factory. They simply contract with manufacturers already making the stuff...

No not in a "walmart factory" but they are products that are produced in factories in China solely for walmart.

The point is they control where those products are made

That was Sam Walton’s business model and how he built Wal-Mart. He died and China took over.

Wal-Mart is a tremendous lobbyist for welfare and other entitlements. The more the government gives money away, the more they spend at Wal-Mart.

China does not build factories for Walmart. That is not how it works. At all.

I'm having trouble determining if this is sarcasm or not.

If not then please, for the love of GOD and all that is holy, do not wander aimlessly around any Walmart inside the borders of the great State of Oklahoma. You're arguably safer wandering around north Tulsa or southwest OKC while wearing a white sheet, than to be caught in the middle of a fist fight between two morbidly obese trailer trash welfare Karens over the last bag of Marshmallow Mateys.

Carry on.

Americans want cheap shite and that shite comes from China. They don’t care where it comes from as long as it’s cheap.

How?

I've RA'ed a request to add a sarcasm font to the sidebar.

I'm usually pretty astute with my sarcasm meter but if it's been one of those days at work, sometimes I need a hint.
