The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

lol, did your statement make you feel more superior?

As for the shoes you are bragging about are merely assembled in America.


Which statement? That you would buy cheap foreign goods rather that American made? I still think that's likely to be true of you. You stole Sano's response rather than think for yourself, didn't you?

It is American Made. Full stop. Look at the video of the factory, see anyone that looks illegal? No. And see how many women are employed in the company that is run by a woman. I don't know any shoes made by American labor with American materials, except for the moccasin type shoes I bought on an Indian Reservation in my 30s. The Indians used to use brains to cure hide.

There are a few small American shoemakers left. If you want to keep the company profitable, and keep control of how the shoes are made, your going to need a source of materials reasonably priced or your shoe will be too expensive.

And look at the video - they aren't assembled, look at those processes. They're *made* you unthinking pre-Cambrian haploid.
