Guess them 20 cent a day Indian/asian kids are too good to pass up. Plus the corporate perverts can visit on sex tours.

Red tags used to be cool

yeah

amazing

capitalism at work.

Fuck Capitalism.

What pants are left that are made in the USA?

Well in Australia a pair of LEVI will cost over $100 where a pair cut same made in asia will cost $30 that is why.

Can't blame them for moving away from the states. It's still a business.

When they shut down a plant in northern Texas a few years back, Levi Strauss showed a lot of class. They gave all of their employees enough money to purchase a computer and enough money to either get an associates degree or start a business.

:1orglaugh

I never bought that shit but I do respect that Levi Strauss was the first who made a jeans.So he is a legend for me.
I wear Kenzo and Ferre

:helpme

so will the little red tag stiched in the pants seam now have a commie flag and say made in China?

fuck, i think everybody wears levis

Yeah money that's all....

anyone still wearing levis these days anyway?

i thought they started making them in mexico years ago?

The ones in wal-mart are made in foreign countries.

We hardly make anything here anymore...all we do is sell shit made from somewhere else to each other.

We are now in a service economy...the bubble will burst eventually....you can have only so many wharehouse sized krispy kreme donut shops.

you have one cool pimp sig!

If it was not so sadly accurate - that would be funny!

Truth is there is a war going on in the world - and it's got little to do with Iraq - tho that helped it escalate one hell of a load. Tis an ecomomic war where the "rich" countries, North America and Europe blah are being rejected by the others cos they are tired of simply being suppliers of cheap/slave labor so us "rich folks" can sit in comfort on our asses and discuss shit like Levi's while they starve. There was a blunt introduction to how "third world" countries feel at the Cancun WTO meeting - basically they said "this is how it's not going to be" and that was the meeting over.

But tis a pity Levi's are "escaping" the US, but not a surpise - there is gonna be plently more unfortunately. Good things don't last forever....

Don't you touch my fucking donuts :ak47: :feels-hot

wow

Likely not... one of the "benefits" of the Chinese free trade area, is that manufacturers are allowed to label goods as "made in USA".

i thought it was stuff made in saipan for a buck an hour that could get away with that mis-labelled scam. so now it's china (at probably 10 cents an hour) as well? that's fucked up.

on that same doom-n-gloom angle...

That's how the free market's meant to work isn't it?

Comes with the territory.

Unless you want to start introducing protectionism.
