Although my personal favorite has to be the American China Company. They had always been, in fact, made in America (Toronto, OH). And now that they're made in China, they probably have the dubious distinction of being the only U.S. manufacturer that didn't have to do a thing to its logo after the move.

Because by definition a plate is what you use to "take the cake".

when they are caught.

As opposed to being black and murdered by the police, not for a crime, but for the color of your ski,n in a Walmart.

Two standards, as different as black and white.

The touted all over TV and in print that they were an American company selling American products to the American people.

I don't know about other people, but I deeply resent it when someone introduces themselves with a lie, and despise them even more when that's their continued behavior.

About the late 80's walmart was buying more and more atuff from china.

That was the same time that Hilary clinton was on the board of directors for Walmart.

Sorry if I was unclear on that: It was always substandard product.

And even the products they were selling that were made in the USA, they struck deals with the US manufacturers to make lower-quality, lower-priced garbage for domestic consumption, so you were buying a name-brand, US product, it just wasn't the same quality as was being sold elsewhere.

I was a little kid at the time; but I clearly remember that's when mom began making a point of keeping the receipt no matter how tiny the purchase because the need to return things became so frequent.

Now, of course, it's just something you take for granted. Just another example of "hidden inflation," I suppose.

and they make a lot of money doing it, expect them to make that same mistake over and over again.

Walmart has a long history of doing this, going back to he '90s when American news media actually covered this stuff. Walmart had a 'Made in USA' campaign going where all clothing display racks featured a 'Made in USA' placard. An undercover reporter went to the Malaysian (I think) factory where the clothes were actually made, posing as a buyer, and filmed the factory manager saying he would put any label in the garments that the buyer wanted. They had children working in the factory that had payment for room and board taken out of their meager salaries to live upstairs.

the top 10 richest Americans! We would all feel so bad for them if they had to start paying living wages to their employees instead of us tax payers supplementing their payroll. They might drop out of the top ten! OMG!!!

Just how many billions are enough?

Those kids got theirs from inheritance, isn't time to say enough is enough and start paying employees a fair wage and making a more pleasant work environment? I've only been in Walmart three times but it was the most depressing experience I ever had. (My sister loves it for the cheap prices but I never found anything cheap enough to go through that atmosphere of misery.)

Pretty sure it was them, a few years back.
