Message: [QUOTE="motometal, post: 619863, member: 24727"] pretty much, yes, we are enabling.  as mentioned above, our towns have lost most of their individual shops run by people in the local community.  The corporate money is going to Sam's big cookie jar instead of the local shop owners.  Also, Wal mart tends to offer lower quality "jobber" type of merchandise in some cases, which I believe is more efficiently made overseas.  Sure, they make an attempt to buy the products in the US, and what sells is consumer driven.  I really think Americans are more efficient at making products that are a step up in quality.  The mentality of US manufacturing has been forced to change due to Wal-Mart and the Chinese/Koreans etc. think about how much more garbage we are throwing away (and filling up the ground with) now that the average product we buy lasts 2-3 years instead of 10-20. I just hope this doesn't affect DIRT BIKES. [/QUOTE]
