The city itself isn't but the suburbs to the NW and North are fucking great. I live in Hilliard with is NW of the city and it's great around here (except for traffic).Quote:

There never was a situation where a store had to choose between selling GE light bulbs made in the US and Sukimuki light bulbs made in china. The manufacturing companies made the choice on their own. The store made an order and at some point in time the light bulbs came in, and it said made in china.
Large retailers like Walmart, Target, K-mart and mall chains are the ones that pushed for this. Before then the manufacture didn't really give a shit because they controlled the price.
this is the problem with everything you've had to say so far.Quote:

You have no idea what you're talking about Ironplant. Everything you're saying is about issues with the Chinese economy and American manufacturers. Because it has nothing to do with Walmart (read: The actual topic of discussion) specifically aside from them doing what everyone else does the only thing you can do now is attack my credibility. And that's exactly what you're doing.Quote:
