When Walmart came to town I warned people about shopping there. I never walked into a Walmart for 50 years. Today, in my rural town, if I want to buy a TV at a place other than Walmart, I have to drive 70 miles. I bought New Balance sneakers and Red Wing work boots made in America. I buy my appliances "made in America" well assembled in America, same with my cars.

I still shop at mom and pop stores.

We would have higher employment today had Walmart never come to town.

I did my part back then, but other people wanted those 15 dollar blue jeans and 10 dollar shirts.

It is way too late for Krasnov to make America Isolationist.

You bet there are plenty of Democrats who take money from Wall Street and Big Corporations, nuff said before I get in trouble.
