Happy Dependence Day
That’s not a typo. It’s a three word commentary.
This small American Flag my company was kind enough to hand out en masse is what sparked this. The ‘Made In China’ tag is written right on the flag! I’m not blaming my company, it rocks (never been happier at a job), but they were just trying to get a bunch of stuff the cheapest way from a (likely American) company trying to make it the cheapest way. I’m not informed enough to write an essay about the damage done by taking jobs from Americans and shipping them out but dammit can’t anything be made here, even at the unlivable minimum wage? Damn!!
I usually prefer to express my patriotism quietly but this makes me mad.
