Walmart Is Actually MAGA!

[Reagan]

The socialist lady that sponsored this stupid No Kings rally is actually not Walton blood.  She married into the family.  The husband dies and she got 1/6th of his estate.  She holds nothing in the Walmart organization.  As a matter of fact she doesn't even live in the USA!  The CEO put out a statement, which he didn't have to do, stating that her positions are NOT Walmart's positions.  Of course this was after a letter was sent to him wanting to know if this is Walmart's positions?  If so, then Walmart would get the Bud Lite treatment.  Again, good job responding by the Walmart CEO!

Who wouldn’t want to MAGA?

Not sure how they can be MAGA when 90% of what they sell comes from China. I say this having spent much of my childhood in Bentonville as my mom was raised there. Spent a decent amount of money at the original Walton’s. Walmart used to be proud to say they sold ‘Made in America.’ That went away a long time ago. Now, you get what you pay for…

Mainly Chinese crap.

It is a shame, but it’s the American business model, Americans demand cheap stuff.

Yep and that’s why I try my hardest not to buy products from there as well as academy.

pretty much anything with “made in China”

has been my stance since I started getting cash in bday cards.

Just something I found. Like I said, I don’t shop WalMart so it’s a non-issue for me.

While a significant portion of Walmart's merchandise comes from China, it's not entirely accurate to say they mostly sell Chinese products. Walmart also sources a large volume of goods from the US and other countries. A report indicated that about 60% of Walmart's imports came from China between January and April 2023, which is down from 80% in 2018. Walmart is also a major retailer in China, with close to 400 stores and clubs. 

 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Focus on China:

  Walmart has a strong reliance on Chinese manufacturing for certain product categories, particularly those where low cost is a major factor. 

   
• Shifting Sourcing:

  Walmart has been working to diversify its sourcing and reduce its reliance on China, including increasing imports from other countries like India. 

   
• Local Sourcing:

  In China, Walmart has a strong focus on local sourcing, with over 95% of their merchandise coming from local sources. 

   
• US Focus:

  Walmart also emphasizes sourcing from the US, with two-thirds of their total product spend in the US being for items made, grown, or assembled in the United States. 

   
• Global Supply Chain:

  Walmart's supply chain is global, with suppliers in the UK, Canada, Mexico, and other countries, in addition to China. 

   
• Food and Groceries:

  A significant portion of Walmart's sales are in groceries, which are largely sourced from the US.
