I don't know if this matters, but when I was in Vietnam, my underwear were made in the USA.

You wore underwear while in Viet Nam ???

I have to admit to buying import almost everything ..... I draw a very deep and dark line at buying anything made in Viet Nam.
 
So people are gonna go commando because they can't get 'made in 'merica' underwear .... yet have no problem typing it out on a Chinese made keyboard on their Chinese made computer?

I'd think people would be throwing those computers AWAY and getting MADE IN 'MERICA computers!!!!

And here I thought I was the one who used to be bad about drunk posting... :rolleyes:
 
Avtually, there is a fine line now about "Made in USA" and assembled here.
 
If you do buy Vietnamese underpants. Make sure you wash it first. You don't know who was wearing it last before they packed it up.

Hardly anything is actualy made here compared to the 50s and 60s. Practicly everyone working has or wants a non productive job. No one go`s to college hopeing to work hands on in a mill or bolting stuff together. We all are raised to be a politician, doctor, lawyer, pilot, real estate broker, fireman, leo or whatever. No working in a cannery or knitting mill for us! Small farmers dont exist anymore. We have this mentality that everyone needs to go to college. The grunts in the mills and fields doing sweat labor that never got a education are taxed to send the newer generation to college.
How can we exist as time go`s on without produceing? We can only make counterfit money and borrow so long. I think most of us are just wakeing up to truth and fact in the last two weeks! As I said recently on another post, "You give everyone in the nation a million dollars, and no one is going to wash dishs or show up at the dealership to sell me that escalade!" The bottom line somewhere has got to be your money is really no good unless you sweated personaly for it! Right now we just live off others sweat and labor. That cant go on forever. When someone (goverment) plays robin hood with your earned money you are going to back off and do less. So are corporations, or more likely, just move to mexico or elsewhere. It really shouldnt be rocket science to figure that out.

And that's why we are we are. To quote the man of wealth and taste "we have met the enemy and it is us"

Another site that says American made only products...and they show drawers for you guys:

https://www.saveourcountryfirst.com

And only 25% of the NB shoes are made in this country, unfortunately, not the ones I need for the tennis court. :mad:

Please back up that statement, as I believe it false.. Perhaps I will stand corrected, but I would like to see the source of your info.

NB has full manufacturing facilities in Norridgewok, Skowhegan, and Norway Maine. All three facilities are easy traveling distance from where I live. True, they have been forced by the EPA to buy parts from overseas, but that is our Gov'ts fault. The fact of the matter is that what is unacceptable here in manufacturing, is now encouraged overseas.

Reads ...China calls the shots already.

Having spent a long time working industrial accidents, I learned a lot about factory work.

We have plenty of semi skilled, intelligent people that dropped out of school for various reasons. They are more than willing to work in factories for a decent wage. However unions have caused people to feel they are worth more than what they actually are. Then industry has decided they could make more by using foreign labor. People in Japan, Mexico and China are willing to pretty much be at work an hour early and work 12 hrs a day for little wages just to be employed.

In the US, a person sweeping floors for AT&T, GM or such is making $20+ per hour. It is difficult for a company to pay such wages when overseas labor is so much cheaper.

It is also impossible to get the US workers to understand that when the union drives the cost of manufacture so high that the employer relocates to other areas. Then the workers are unemployed but the heads of the unions still get a nice paycheck from the national headquarters. The Shreveport GM plant has 4000 people looking for work due to union demands but the Union heads are still getting paid. AT&T could not fire someone for their bad attendance thanks to the union but had to overhire so they could run the production lines. AT&T went to Mexico and Singapore while GM went to smaller towns where unions were not yet as strong. Either way, it is the workers that are hurt.
 
It all started with those adjustable one size fit`s all baseball caps from china and japan.

Yes, we sure do. It's more honorable, in our present society, for a young person to go get a four year business degree so they can pour coffee at Starbucks than to have a dirty job like welding, machining, or turning wrenches.

I place a lot of the blame on high schools....if a kid isn't on track to go to college, they treat them like a second-class citizen.

They absolutely do try to prep every kid for college...they can't accept the fact that we need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, septic tank pumpers, garbage men, etc.
 
Depends are made domestically I think.

Anyway, the good underwear comes from Hanro of Switzerland. It runs 85 dollars a pair for boxers. Good stuff.

Anyway, underpants aren't exactly a high tech item. If you want some made domestically, get a sewing machine and make some. Cotton fabric and elastic are easy enough to come by.
 
Really??? You are really concerned about where your drawers are produced? That's funny.
