I guess we live with it cause it's cheaper, in our favor at the moment. Every man for himself=Walmart etc.
Interesting because many in the USA consider them suckers while they who make the products say the same of us.
Agree or disagree,
Not sure why you are attacking Walmart on it's own here Turboomni since all retailers are doing this around the world.
Consider the Dollar stores that actually have a greater profit margin( more profitable) than Walmart are not relying on US made products other than the American's that built the facility/building the products are in but don't be surprised that the materials used for the structure may have come from over seas...
As I viewed the video, I asked myself how old this video actually is.
i am employed with a world wide organization and one sector is manufacturing. This looks pretty antiquated compared to what we produce but I can understand that there's this kind of manufacturing going on in the 3rd world.
Previous comments are pretty much right on about greed being a driving force behind this and lobbyist's are partly responsible for this.
But the bottom line IMHO is that we all don't want to give up our hard earned cash unless it's for something that we enjoy such as spending on our classic cars or other activities that we personally have decided it's ok to spend it on be it a hobby or fine wine & steaks every day.
This personal greed translates into us going to the stores and buying the cheaper products because the cost of the US made product which is not always better quality will be much higher due to the us believing that we deserve a higher wage.
This in itself is not wrong but inflation causes the increase locally with wages & employer health insurance being a huge reason for the higher costs.
If we had to rely on US made parts for our cars, then no one would likely be driving/owning one because the parts companies would not find it sustainable(profitable) to continue to make parts for out dated cars.
So we have to rely on overseas suppliers to make it for us.
I see it as it's the world we live in today so let's make the best of it & find the happy things in life be it be or small while we can & not focus on the negative.
Wishing everyone here all the best.
Take care & stay safe
