You are not suppose to ask that! You may not like the answer.
Mom used to buy the Sears jeans with double thick knees (usually two sizes too big so I’d get more wear for her dollar!) Now it’s cheap wranglers for me.

Give the guy partial credit. At least he didn’t own up to wearing parachute pants.

We had double kneed Toughskins when I was a kid. They must have sewn them with a Tippman Boss leather stitcher, because they were so stiff they could have stood up by themselves!

When young I wore Levi’s also but they fit like **** nowadays.
Even though when you get older your body mutates and deforms I’m blaming Levi’s. Carharts fit bad also.
I buy KEY brand. Get them from farm stores for about $15-20 a pair.
I think but don’t quote me, made in the USA.
They fit better also.

I switched to wranglers a long time ago. I like they are thinner. Thinner = more comfortable.

That's a real blast from the past for me. I used to go up to the Lee factory outlet in the VF factory outlet park west of Reading, PA. I dropped a lot of coin there for jeans back in my younger days.
I quit wear blue jeans when I discovered that a pair was lasting me just a few months. (I very hard on work clothes.)
I've switch to Duluth Trading Company Fire Hose pants and am starting to measure their work time in years!

I use to buy J C Penny Plain Pockets,the last two years of High school and wore them when I worked in a factory. They were $10.00 back then(1975 to 1980). They fit very well and lasted for about a year of work.

Wrangler still markets a 14oz denim jean I like. I seek them out because they fit my build better and last longer than other brands.
I wore Carrhartt for several years, and discovered the brown pocket models just don't wear as well as the older ones.
I own one pair of levi's. My Bride asked me to wear them in our 2015 wedding. Let's face it, she sacrificed a lot marrying me. I couldn't say no.
I still have them, and surprise, surprise, they're still in "Like New Condition."
Like others that grew up in the South, I've watched the clothing industry fade away. I grew up in a small Ga. town that was once known as "The Clothing Center Of The South."

Corporate America has several maxims it lives by. In all my years of dealing with them in one form or another, they are all true to some extent:
1) Profit first, foremost and always. The end justifies the means in doing this.
2) Make as much profit as you can doing whatever you can or do to do so. Do so as quickly as you can.
3) Nothing lasts forever....customers, employees...product. Keep a rotation
going in each of these. Like climbing a ladder.
The American people also have a lot to do with this.
If you live paycheck to paycheck, you can either by the overseas made items at say $20 or the same product American made for $60, the price is going to win. For the price of the ONE American made product, you can buy THREE of the overseas stuff. I have quite often found the quality is comparible (and often made by the same people) and it isn't good.
Back in the days of Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc. Communications and transportation were nowhere near what they are today. If they were, they'd have done the same thing...in some cases did (remember the sweatshops of the early industrial age?).
This has been going on long before many of us were born and is the generally accepted way of doing business. What bothers me is just how much of our total infrastructure is foreign made...and that inclused weapons and defenses.
THAT is what scares me.

I can't remember now where I read it, but there has been some concern raised about the widespread use of Hikvision security camera systems by many areas of the US gov't. Hikvision is one of the world's largest suppliers of surveillance and security systems, based in China and partially state-owned. They do make good products- I have Hikv cameras (actually LTS, but made by HV) on my house- but the system isn't conected to the internet.

Don't bet on it. If there is a wireless signal anywhere around it may be transmitting to it. I have a C-Pap that is only plugged into the wall for power and Sleep Number Bed that the only connections are to the wall outlet. Both of these pick wireless connections and transmitted data to a collection point. Your cameras may be doing the same.
