Again, I think the best thing to do is just to boycott purchases for these U.S. large corporations and buy from a local mom/pop shop or mom/pop supplier if possible. Boycott Walmart and say enough is enough with the crap you’re trying to push. Unfortunately, that might mean a few folks at walmart are probably going to lose their jobs, but it’s probably the right message to send for the purpose of this exercise. Mass mail to your big corporation that that you aint going to buy that cheap foreign made good no longer and you want to spend more on domestically produced things. Every time I stop by the local Ace Hardware store, I always ask the store manager is there a domestic supplier for part X (valves/plumbing made by brasscraft, which is getting squeezed). Usually they don’t stock it because it’s a lot more, but they usually can special order things. Tell your local stores that you want to see more domestic things stocked.
The last time I stepped in walmart was probably about 3-4 months ago, and it was to buy Mobil 1 oil. I hate that store.

I don’t know why you have such a disdain for Walmart, but I personally don’t care if I buy it from Walmart or costco or Target or mom/pop shop. As long as it’s the same product. Mobil 1 from Walmart is the same as Mobil 1 from Costco or Target. But it’s just cheaper. Maybe you have extra cash to justify buying it at Target vs Walmart, but I’m trying to keep as much of my cash as possible w/out changing my life style. That’s why I have no problem buying things at Walmart.
