6. As a low-income family ...
We do part of our shopping at Walmart. But I have lots of concerns about their ties with China, and their relationship to this whole out-sourcing trend.

7. As well you should. Look out for your family
and community first as you deal with those concerns. Welcome to DU!

9. Thank you!
Yes, I keep wanting to move to a more-sustainable way of life -- both ecologically and economically. But it seems we're just making baby-steps at our house so far. I guess that's better than not at all.

11. Bounty paper towels are the same all over but
much cheaper at WalMart.

10. Photoshopped or forced perspective; a church residing behind the store,
with very large crosses to prove some point.

Probably the latter, most photoshops are ultimately easy to spot.

12. The latter, IMO.
And with so many f'n Walmarts, you can probably find one sitting in front of anything you can name.

Look, here's one in front of a giant statue of Hillary Clinton.....not sure of what city this is in.



And here's what happens if you grab a PayDay without, well, paying...

14. And the DUers who would support those actions too, saying nobody is better than anyone else,
and not caring about useless things called "specifics"? (If nobody is better than anyone else, I'll become a diplomat, doctor, and hooker too - even though I may be not just ill-qualified to be one, but utterly incompetent and/or sleazy. Depends on the circumstance. )
