Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I was just in a Home Depot store and looked at the Sno-Tek's.  It is amazing they put a nice big sticker on the bucket that says "Made in the USA".  I guess the "Made in China engine" doesnt apply.  Good old marketing tricks.

As others have mentioned, I would suggest Jack view the documentary if he hasn't done so already.   There are ramifications that affect businesses and peoples lives.  It will affect you and your family, eventually.

This is hardly bashing.  It's an eye opener.  Just because you vote with your pocketbook, ie bottom line, and "get used" to the situation doesn't mean there isn't something you can do NOW to change the future.

When and if you are old enough to care and vote for issues that are important to you, it is already too late.  You are only putting in effort so that future generation can benefit.

let me know how we can change things.i'm just saying right NOW people want lower prices with no frills. and all you guys are entitled to your own opinions. but just go to a walmart super store and see how packed it is day after day. my company will not budge on it's mission so we are feeling the heat. not from just walmart but every drugstore and discount store selling food and general merchandise.competition is real hot and american owned company's have to react.

What is your company's mission?

Well the US government has the power to enforce anti-monopoly and anti-trust statues...like they've done in the past.  Ask ATT, Microsoft, etc.  In fact if it wasn't for these statutes being enforced at the turn of the last century there would only be one US oil company today.

You can start by not shopping at Walmart, or at least think about each dollar that you save there's a person job that's lost.  If the flock of sheep is heading towards a cliff, there's no reason why you should too.
