Third-world types should be making our hats. As Americans, we should be doing more important shit that requires more valuable skills. Third world type probably have equivalent literacy rates to most inner city blacks in the US over the last 8 years. And there are too many "americans" who don't do a freaking thing of value for their entire lives, but collect off the labors of working americans with all their welfare payouts. |

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. Home Depot. Walmart. Both also relevant. |

Don't care, I've got mine. When your employer moves operations to Countries with cheap labor maybe they will give you the chance to compete and send you, I'm sure the Wife and kids will love the fine rat cuisine and $36.00 per month salary and I'm sure their education will be superb.

I buy HSGI or SKD hats because they're made here. That said most companies contract out their swag and if they don't pay for American made stuff they get what the vendor buys.

So you want to subsidize failed business models so we can at least say they are made in America? The cheap textile market is dead here, and only specialist products have any viability. |

Practically every city in the USA was built around manufacturing.
But the work has been shifted overseas for decades. So now we have casinos and welfare slums instead of factories. Are we supposed to pretend that all those people who worked in factories have retrained for high tech jobs? What's wrong with the Japanese and the Chinese? Don't they know that you're supposed to send your manufacturing elsewhere and just let the cities die? Why do they try so hard to get all that yucky manufacturing work? In the 1980s the Japanese practically ran WWIII on us, trying to get manufacturing jobs from us. Don't they know Billy Joel's song "Allentown" is a happy happy song about buying steel from another country? There's no possible way to help the American voter. How do you help a willing victim? The politicians make some goofy throwaway statement about this or that and the voters dance in the street. Everything is fluff and the voters adore it. It's a joke. |

If your trying to build Facebook likes so that more people see what you post there, that is where you do a giveaway. Doing it on your own website does not send a newsfeed when a company does a new product announcement or sale. |

You do realize that in all likelihood those hats were ordered from an American company, who only embroidered the logos on raw hats that were purchased from an American supplier who imports the raw hats from overseas. The hats themselves may be made in Bangladesh, but many American jobs are still provided..... Let the third world make our textiles, Americans should be making space ships........ |
