are just some of what walmart forced overseas. Once their stores saturated most markets they began to call the shots to these companies forcing them into a price point that made using decently paid labor unacceptable and getting them to move their manufacturing to China. It used to be manufacturers would market themselves to retailers. Walmart reversed that and began dictating to them. And don't say they didn't have to listen to walmart when walmart had 80-100% of the retail space in many areas. Just blaming the consumer is misplaced. Unbridled capitalism will do anything to increase the profits for a few at the expense of everyone else. It has no regard for the very society that fed it's profits to the point that it will destroy it at the same time.
