Re: How about "shining a light"

As part of its bankruptcy reorganization,  Brooks Brothers is closing its 3 U.S. manufacturing facilities. The Haverhill, Massachusetts site for suits, ties in NYC and shirts in North Carolina. 

 

Domestic production accounted for less than 10% of BB apparel

Anything the Q sells?

Not that I could find.  


They should be ashamed.


----------

Isn't Stitch Fix a subscription Box service?

 

And if QVC should be ashamed, how about All the other retailers, that don't carry these lines?


One can only hope that this will gradually change.

Doesn't matter, this is bash QVC day, apparently. 

 

 If the Q sold only products made domestically, prices would soar and sales would drop.  Instant bankruptcy.  In many cases, people WON'T pay higher prices and would just shop elsewhere, looking for better prices.  How does this help .... anyone?

Re: How about "shining a light"

My daughter has to constantly listen to me complaining that every single thing is made in China.

 

Other than the 'My Pillow', I can't think of anything that is made in the US for sure.

 

Look at the fix the world is in and nothing has changed............

 

No one pays anymore for their actions.

Well, regardless of what China has done lately, treaties and formal trade agreements are made and quotas have to be attained.   That's as far as I'm going with that idea, but you know what I mean.
