I guess I was thinking more of their grocery side when I was typing that..

The only thing Grocery stores have on a Walmart is that they have real meat
and produce departments in which the stuff is cut and packaged there. But
not having a meat and produce preparation area, does keep the health
department at bay. Walmart used to cut meat in its stores, but the
Klahnista unions tried to strong arm their way in..

Cant blame Walmart for all of the Chinese crap, except for that which it
brings in under its own private labels.
(excluding grocery this time)

But if you look at the name brand items, even those manufacturers have
outsourced to China, with perhaps only being packaged here in the states.
