On second thought to the Donald, Mexicans are the enemy so he wouldn't lump them in with "Merica".

Maybe we should export some "Free Tibet" jewelry to China. Something tells me the government would not let it onto store shelves there.

The good Chinese made tees have a pocket.

Also, it lacks Sponge Bobbiness.

Nice selection of colors, too.



Still, no Sponge Bob. However, I have an iron and experience with tee decals from the '70s.

If you read it in the normal pattern of top to bottom and left to right it seems to say:

"Not made in (pause) CHINA!"

or is that the point?

:squint: I see that message as being the dominant message.

Also, again... No Sponge Bob and Sponge Bob IS America.

Made in the USA

That`s right, real American workers handcrafted our clothing with the highest quality fabrics, stitches, and materials made in America. None of that foreign made, sweat shop, unfair, penny paid labor here. Our clothing keeps people working in the United States.

When you purchase from All American Clothing you are helping our economy in so many ways! For example: the clothing is made in the USA, the box it shipped in was made in the USA, our website is hosted by a USA company, the shipping companies are all from the USA, the people who built our building are USA citizens, etc...As you can see, buying one shirt or a pair of jeans that are Made in USA affects many jobs in many different industries.

Or get this one.

It's just that singling out one country for manufacturing the products we could or should be making seems a bit prejudiced when we are buying stuff made in so many other countries. "Made in the USA" is a better slogan.

28. Technology has created more jobs than it has destroyed, says 140 years of data
Mon Sep 7, 2015, 07:45 PM
Sep 2015

A study by economists at the consultancy Deloitte seeks to shed new light on the relationship between jobs and the rise of technology by trawling through census data for England and Wales going back to 1871.

Their conclusion is unremittingly cheerful: rather than destroying jobs, technology has been a “great job-creating machine”. Findings by Deloitte such as a fourfold rise in bar staff since the 1950s or a surge in the number of hairdressers this century suggest to the authors that technology has increased spending power, therefore creating new demand and new jobs.

Their study, shortlisted for the Society of Business Economists’ Rybczynski prize, argues that the debate has been skewed towards the job-destroying effects of technological change, which are more easily observed than than its creative aspects.

Going back over past jobs figures paints a more balanced picture, say authors Ian Stewart, Debapratim De and Alex Cole.

“The dominant trend is of contracting employment in agriculture and manufacturing being more than offset by rapid growth in the caring, creative, technology and business services sectors,” they write.

“Machines will take on more repetitive and laborious tasks, but seem no closer to eliminating the need for human labour than at any time in the last 150 years.”

Here are the study’s main findings: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/aug/17/technology-created-more-jobs-than-destroyed-140-years-data-census
