Pet Food Treats China

[ericlp]

Best to not buy anything made in China. It's all about lowest cost and greed.

Can't sue a corporation. Well, you can but since a corporation is considered a person you can ONLY sue the corporation itself. You can't sue wall street (the money backers of the corporation) Just because a few kids or animals died the people funding it for the lowest price to get rich are protected. You can't sue the people that made it or the distributors... Nope.

The only way off this crazy thing is in short of a revolution. And rolling back Amendment 14. But what do I know? Apparently we all voted for this crazy thing.

I'm just saying it's not the China/Brazil/Korea/ <--- Insert poor bastard salve country here... China in this case is just a puppet ... Working for peanuts. Make your own toys ... Make your own dog treats and grow your own fruit. Buy a blender (not from walmart or sears or target or maceys). I was looking at a Vitamix and noticed they said 70% of the blender was made in USA so even a 500 dollar blender has parts made in China. Good Luck finding one. No one is going to wake up until we all know that corporations are not in it for the good of the people or pets in this case... But they are in it for the bottom line. Keep on keeping on!

Nice speech there eric.

Sounds like you might be thinking of boycotting Wally World.
Seems like a lot of what they sell is from China.

Wally World is 95%+ Made in China. The outsourcing ship has sailed people. Manufacturing is gone. Made in the USA is a sad little cottage industry. If China is a puppet, they are a very rich puppet! Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Exactly: we were all sold out to the lowest bidder... thus lowering the "market price" of labor... so we can only afford cheap goods...

Now the "race to the bottom" has come home to roost. Turns out an "expensive" food supply is actually "cheap insurance", because it requires a robust economy and a living wage.

Please do boycott Walmart, there's always way too many people when I go there.

China's still new at this capitalism thing, they'll find out soon enough that shoddy goods are a bad idea.
Enjoy the low prices while you can, their wages are going up.
