I hear this is pretty common, though I can't give specific examples. I believe in some cases all of the parts and pieces can be made elsewhere, but if its assembled in America they can put the "Built in the US" stamp on it, which isn't the same as Made in the US that has harder FTC regulations. I'm sure many who just put Made in America are playing loose with the definition but no ones made a fuss about it.
Unfortunately it's probably not. I used to work for Finance 100 companies and there was literally cult shit like this all the time, some would even pipe it in on the PA.
Imagine what was going through the tattoo artists mind when this customer requested travesty of a tattoo.Crossover with the Bad Tattoos thread
I don't get it. Is it meant to be some sort of Joker/HP crossover thing?Crossover with the Bad Tattoos thread
im more bothered by that 'glow'
Well of course they play fast and loose with the definitions. It drives sales. Especially if you buy tools. My craftsman tape measure, a 35 footer, has "global and domestic parts" in it, but since it wasn't chink built, I couldn't resist. And to be absolutely fair... nicest tape measure I've ever owned. But it still proves that the USA stamp sells products even if all of it isn't USA

thank you for the valuable contribution, Baljeet
They can cope all they want. The entirety of Phase 4/5, with the exception of Spiderman, has oscillated between modest box office successes and outright bombs. The Marvels is barely outperforming fucking Morbius, and that's before accounting for the production budget alone being twice as big. The only thing keeping the MCU afloat, as far as I can tell, is the Disney+ content. Even that's hard to gauge given how opaque the metrics are for streaming services. Given the consistent downwards trajectory of Disney's stock I'm inclined to believe even that is underperforming.
Its the biggest contention point right now for a reason. Transparency from streaming would absolutely wipe all these big media giants hardcore.
On one hand, the promptness with which they renewed it for a second season makes it seem like it was successful. On the other hand, would it really be that far fetched for a megacorp powered by a money printing machine and hopped up on sheer hubris to continuously press forward on a sunk cost in the hopes that it eventually gets traction? Epic games certainly did that with their ill-fated Steam "competitor" and Amazon is much bigger than them. Even consoomers I've talked to about RoP thought the CGI landscapes were the only memorable thing about it.
