222. I am late but Iw will defend Hillary a bit here
back in the '80s when she was on the board Sam Walton was still alive. One of his cornerstone beliefs was that his wares be made in America, unless and only unless such products were not made in America.
For those of us over 25 we can still remember the pride that Walmart took in selling American made. And while the workers were not well paid, they were pretty much on a par with competition. They also had an employee stock purchase program that made some fairly comfortable. I believe they were the only retailer that did.
Then Sam died. Don't know if Hillary was still on the board. Even if she were, I doubt she could have seen the changes coming. I doubt anybody did.
So hindsight is not always 20/20.
