Fubar. I live next door to Mexico. I have a thing against slave labor. That is all. There have been factories not meeting minimum safety standards where people have unnecessarily died in fires. Of course that happened not too many years ago at some plant in your part of the country..... When you can't find a textile job in North Carolina, remember they are in Indonesia with some worker making .20 cents an hour.. Plus working conditions need be investigated..
Such companies stick with some of our favorite Posties, maybe not from loyality, but for Public relations puposes.. You buy New Balance shoes, they include a sticker stating, made in the U.S. with Union made labor.. Buying American shows real patriotism, when and where possible. Thing is the product costs no more than products made with slave labor.. Plus I find they have better support than alternative B. If only I could still run due to a bad knee.
