Participant[quote=CA renter]Thanks for posting this, AK.
How messed up is Costco?
He also mentioned the subsidy China gives to companies who manufacture in China (for export).
OTOH, good to see Sam’s is apparently trying to source around half of their goods in the U.S. (am I reading that right — that they are shifting from mostly China to 50% overseas/50% U.S. suppliers?).
I also liked hearing that he could produce here for around the same as he could produce in China, considering transportation costs, for goods sold in the U.S.
Also, loved his suggestion about slapping fees on imported products for our port/customs infrastructure costs.[/quote]
I wouldn’t feel so lovey dovely about Sam’s Club frankly. (Afterall, they are owned by Walmart). I think they got their own labor/supply chain issues too.
BUT, frankly. Look at all the stuff that Costco sells (furniture/etc). It’s all from overseas.

Participant[quote=flu]Guys. This isn’t nearly as messed up as a few of my friends who own very profitable businesses are doing..
They are selling high end products to high end consumers in china.
So these friends basically import then goods FROM CHINA to the U.S and then send it right back to china to sell.
Go figure.[/quote]
because the chinese have lousy internal distribution
