you know its bad when we import American flags and our Olympic team has uniforms made over seas.
No one cares. the rich do it to save money, the middle class buy it to save money and the poor are too damn dumb to see why their jobs are leaving every day and too damn lazy to vote for the right reasons. We are all doomed but at least it will save us more money. what we save on the cheap shit we now pay to the fsa since they are too dumb to learn new tricks. |

Third-world types should be making our hats. As Americans, we should be doing more important shit that requires more valuable skills. At the same time, not everyone can be an engineer. Or at least not start out as one. A lot of entry jobs have really high requirements these days. IE, two years experience in the field or 5 years working experience. |

The problem is that around 30% of our population simply isn't smart enough to do much beyond manual labor jobs. Once those jobs are all sent to china these people just go on welfare or turn to crime to make a living. Basically we need jobs for the bottom rung of society too.

Yet the same people bitch about buying foreign-branded cars that are actually made here, while preferring American-branded cars that aren't. Which is the same thing, but on a grander scale - so which is it, do they support the companies based here or the companies whose products are made here?
