Bought a pair of Acorn slippers for my mother a few years ago when
they were still made in Maine....
They show almost no wear but one went missing recently.
I figured this was a chance to get something practical for her 97th
birthday next month, so I went into the same outdoor gear shop to buy
a new pair.
Imagine my surprise to find out they are now Made in China and still
cost more than I spent last time.
Someone is making lots of money on the 'global economy'.
Sure... I could have ordered a pair online from the US cheaper but she
needed then ASAP.

Boy, slippers. You sure are generous, Suckling Don.

Idiot!
When someone is 97 and in a nursing home, you are thankful that you
can get them something they need and will use every day... rather than
something that will have to be stored due to minimal room in their
clothes closet. Besides almost $60.00 (inc tax) for a pair of Made in
China slippers isn't cheap in my world.
If she didn't need them right away ( due to one disappearing at the
nursing home) I would have checked out LL Bean.

Yes, I'm sure $60 is alot in your world, judging from the trash in your
yard.

Aw, he's just making excuses for buying chinese junk and crying about
everyone else that does it. That's the Progressive way...- Hide quoted text -

Y'all really are thick as a brick.
Judging by the quantity of borderline mentally handicapped and
criminally insane posters that infest this group, it's no wonder that
the USofA is heading downhill... fast!

If you look at goods shipped and produced, USA is already second banana.
Will only be a few more years and USA is the second largest economy.

Can't run the country on fleabagger debt and bull**** forever. Just
more government will accelerate the process.

Fleabaggers are thick, the very thing they worship is the source of
their problems.

Like a snake eating its own tail, downhill it will go until the
fleabaggers quite literally pull their heads off their asses.
