"Welcome to Walmart... Hey!!! Fucking Transvestite!"

Always good to help your local neighbors. Do you try to buy mostly American made domestic stuff made by us right here? I’d like to start buying maybe a higher percentage of American made stuff slowly stepping off from the Chinese crap. By doing what you do you have protected a number of our American jobs. Definitely a good thing. Hopefully I get better priorities myself in the future.

Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington should take over Walmart.

Interesting question with no easy answer.

The Walton family - American - owns 50% of Walmart. The remainder would be held by investors - including mutual funds owned by Americans. As Walmart’s stock price rises, Americans benefit.

Walmart is based in Arkansas and has stores all over the US. The stores provide employment for Americans.

Walmart’s suppliers employ Americans for customer service, sales, distribution, etc. Walmart buys meat and produce from American farmers.

Walmart provides cheap consumer goods which Americans seem to like. China benefits from that part of the equation.

Buy American, yes. Pay Americans like Chinese? No, but then the cheap goods get more expensive.

Why does Apple get a pass? They utilize Chinese labor to a large degree. Most other US retailers (e.g., dept stores, Best Buy, Home Depot, et al.) do the same.

I avoid the local Walmart so I am not defending them by any stretch. Just trying to point out it is not all evil. Or any more evil than any other US retailer.

The survey says yes. We buy Russian (Lukoil), Saudi, Iranian and Venezuelan (Citgo) oil. AMC theaters is owned by the Chinese. Some US owners certainly quietly support either BLM or the KKK. We buy drugs from Teva Pharma (Israel).

We don’t care until someone tells us to care. Then we forget shortly thereafter when we start caring about something else.

By buying local I mean trying to buy from places that are not global corporations such as wal mart or starbucks or mcdonalds etc, stick to neighborhood stores neighborhood restaurants etc.

Also, I don't but anything online.

I wouldn't. I don't like to spend my money at any big corporation if possible.

I like going to “mom and pop” stores too where you know who you’re paying and where the money is going. I guess I give a decent amount of business to those guys too mixing in a few Big Macs and Carmel Macchiatos along the way.

Keep supporting your local businesses. Do you live in a convenient spot where you have a lot of neat local shops?

Yeah, I like to walk to where I going so I always try to stay downtown and areas that have everything nearby.

Our Downtown in LA isn't fit to walk through after dark. My wife is from San Diego and their Downtown is on the water by The Gas Light. Way better.

I used to live in Austin, Texas and Downtown was where all the action was at. Although you feel old at 26 down there. Lots of drunk UT kids.

Nice chat. Thank you. I think you might have had a good influence on me. We're going out for Korean BBQ tonight at a place in K-Town that's family owned. I'm psycho for some Korean BBQ. The ladies work the grill so great and I end up leaving food-drunk.

No problem, good to talk as well, have good dinner tonight - I like Korea food too, of course the BBQ good but my favorite are the cold noodles, especially during hot weather🍻

I have to admit the Korean places I've been too have all been Korean BBQ. I'm still a bit of a Hillbilly and need to learn more and have a regular balanced sit-down dinner at a Korean Restaurant. We don't eat Hamburgers every day in America any more than Koreans eat BBQ every day. Learning about food is always a fun adventure.

This cold-hearted ghoul just put out a decent training video for store employees.
