Good point. At least he had to go and type a bunch of worthless stuff other people said.?

"Worthless" is your original point. 

Quote:Walmart has already sourced 2/3rds of the merchandise they sell in the US.

Indeed, "two-thirds of Walmart U.S.’ total product spend was on items made, grown or assembled in the United States" so if 33% is on stuff "grown" in the US, and 2% is on stuff "made" in the US that means that the remaining 65% is on stuff "made" in other countries - right?

Quote:They have had a program for many years incentivizing domestic production. By 2027 80% will be made here. They are returning to their roots of everything made in US that is possible.

And ask the folks over at Rubbermaid exactly how beneficial that Wal*Mart "sourcing is.

Quote:The remaining 20% is spit between many countries a lot of which do not have the tariff imbalance China has.

The effects of this tariff balancing will be a lot less than the doomsayers and a bit more than overly optimistic people. Look at it this way. If you can produce a sea container of merchandise for about 15k-20k more than if it were made in China it would be about the same costs. A 40ft ocean container has a capacity of 2,390 cubic feet and can hold up to 20 standard pallets. (use 40 as the product would be floor stacked

Please get back to us when Wal*Mart raises its prices and tell us how this is such a "Good Thing" because it increased the US annual GNP. Smh
