        Disgusting behavior. I hope some people have their asses handed to them over this.

        Think it, be it.

              Got hit by a sledgehammer named "the flu" Wednesday night… Couldn't move at all yesterday except to ralf... Feeling a bit better today but far from 100. I must say, I'm not a fan.

                Their new Mac Pro is Designed Cali, Assembled USA.
                .

                Back to the OP tho, just because it's made in China doesn't make it bad, nor does it being made in the USA make it good. There's slave labour and minimum wage issues globally….Mega had a really good rant about this the other day...

                                Thats incredible, and as you say surely not ethical. I'm amazed that can happen in the USA, I guess it is the big argument for the minimum wage  :-\

                                    How many pairs would you have to order to get to 12$/pair

                                        I remember watching " Mary's bottom line" about a women trying to get textiles made in the uk again and she was paying her staff around £ 6.50 that is around min wage to make fancy underwear that sells in liberty for £30 a pair. Her staff were skilled and most with 30 years experience. Imo £6.50 is to low for a skilled/ qualified worker to be earning in the uk.
