That hand has been feeding them sawdust seasoned with rat shit over the past twenty years. Maybe that hand deserves to be bitten.
Ah yes, the eternal contarian, complains about living in tiny apartments, owning nothing, and eating bugs on one hand, tells you "uhh who cares about rising prices on everything you don't need to mindlessly consume" on the other.

They used to be great. They had excellent grip, were extremely light, and you could be very sneaky-beaky wearing them due to the soft sole and light weight. Then they turned into tap shoes that would slide on any hard floor.
As a Millenial, my earliest pair that I sort of remember was from the '90s. By the time I was buying them in Highschool they had felt on the bottom, and were more or less exactly like they are today.

I can sort of prove this out as I still have a pair from 2001 that is not only beat to shit, but still has the goddamned felt on the bottom, too.
 
it's gonna be yuge, i guarantee it. i'm not sure how this 5m plan will work out, though i at least hope any jeet with $5m in the bank is less of a street shitter than the ones that come here with $5 in the bank. (i'll take my rainbows)
If they have 5mil to pay for shiny cards I hope that at least they are not streetshitters.
Xi Jinping should buy one, just because it would be funny
 
Same thing with denim. Japanese autism applies to everything and they just bought a lot of old US machinery, reconditioned it, and now turn out some of the best, if not the best, denim in the world. You'll pay for it, but when the Japanese are serious you get what you pay for.
The Japanese are serious about craftsmanship on a cultural level, particularly when things are done by hand.
 
Incentives are the reason manufacturing left the west, incentives are the reason they will come back.
You are a dumb retard who has no understanding of the situation here. Manufacturing never left ‘the west’. There is a ton of manufacturing in Europe and Central and South America. Manufacturing specifically left the United States because the oil crisis and the EPGay led to major harm to the American auto industry which never recovered and had second order effects of discouraging production in the United States. Once this happened, it led to a spiral effect of states not giving a fuck about manufacturing and enacting retarded laws against them because they, for some reason, still thought we were treating workers likee they were in the 1890s.
 
The Hulkster never answered my question.

*sigh*

I find it amusing that Trump is getting shit for not placing tariffs on North Korea and Russia, with whom we have active fucking embargoes. Are these people really this stupid? What, don't answer that.
I can't even tell you how many times I have had to explain this to retards, like I said to them, you don't see fucking Cuba on the list do you?
 
"Machinery is not a necessity for you"
oh god
If we're going to be a pedantic autist, let us all be pedantic autists! So, I will pose my pedantic question in the usual autistic manner, as is tradition:

What kind of day to day life do you think the average impoverished person leads that they need these things daily?

>wake up
>MAINTAIN THE MACHINE
>do the usual Triple-S morning routine
>REPAIR THE MACHINE
>Have me some breakfast
>SERVICE THE MACHINE
>off to work
>wonder if the machine is thinking about me while I flip burgers

Humanity has superior intellect, opposable thumbs and weaponry.
Big penguin ain’t gonna do shit when I blow its head off with my 6.5 Sneedmoor AR or blast it to smithereens with my pump shot.
Everyone talks tough...


...until the penguin zerg rush.

They make Chucks out of that denim sometimes, too.

My dad gets hung up on this one pretty bad. He'll go from citing the Bible about the world turning on Israel and help coming on eagle's wings (America), to telling me that the USS Liberty is ancient history because it was 60+ years ago. 2000+ years is relevant where 60+ years isn't.
being genuine, what the fuck do you expect to do about it? money was paid out, guilt was admitted, apologies were made. Should Canada still hold a grudge against us because a US pilot hopped up on go pills killed their soldiers in an accidental bombing? shit happens, countries forgive each other and move on

There's also already a successful model for bringing clothing production back to America. Unfortunately it involves lecherous Canadian jewbag Dov Charney but the guy is following through on manufacturing. It used to be American Apparel before he was outsed from that company for being creepy, and since then AA cut all the good stuff, but for several years there it was all made in the USA. Dov has a new thing, Los Angeles Apparel, which is essentially the same as old American Apparel. Everything is made in downtown LA, the workers are making $20-35/hr, they buy their cotton from American farmers, etc. and the prices aren't that expensive when you take all that and the end product's quality into account.

You just going to forget that the orginal American Apparel got in trouble for breaking labor laws and hiring illegal immigrants to work at its factories?

Even today the going rate for their sewers are $17-$25 bucks an hour. In California the minimum wage for fast food is $20 bucks an hour.
 
Can that fat fuck explain this?

Someone needs to tell Trump Alb*nian curses their goods with Gypsy curse. Why make Serbia tariffs higher than cockroach gypsies?

Serbia makes high quality goods and needs to be a partner of USA, the Alb*nian makes shit with crappy materials and smuggle drugs.
Also explain to me the tariffs for two uninhabitable islands and a military base? And why the list isn't in alphabetical order, DOGE?
