Let me know when manufacturing returns. In the meantime, it’s still stamped “Made In China” on the back….😂

I’ll post when it’s not. Haha

That’s global.
The last administration promised to bring manufacturing home. Clearly, it doesn’t want to come home…

It will take years for that to happen to move things back, you know that though.

It’s established fact. Manufacturing is not returning to the US….

Manufacturing Jobs Aren't Coming Back, No Matter Who's President

The share of Americans working in manufacturing has been falling for decades. Yet politicians continue to talk about the sector as if it's the key to the nation's jobs problem.

Who do you know in either of our countries that’s doing anything to bring our manufacturing back….?

I used to buy Carhart. My old jackets, made in the US, were a size L, and still fit good. Not a jacket made in China is a XXL for the same fit. I thought a company like Carhart would have standards. Guess not. No more Carhart.

Tax the crap out of them.

That’s been suggested for years and never happens. You think that politicians are going to bite the feeding hand….🤔

Patagonia doesn’t buy China crap.
If more people complain about the crappy quality, things will come home.

Carhart cant compete….
Economics have no standards. The bottom line is the bottom line. Corporations are multinational now, there is no allegiance to anything but money. Not flags, not borders, not people….🤷‍♂️

The problem is that half the people making the rules are getting their crap made for their companies in China. Same as our politicians investing in gas speculation. Shouldn’t be allowed but that’s how they all become rich.

Patagonias products are manufactured all over the world including China. Globalization Cap…like it or hate it, it’s way bigger than you and I….

They will get the hint when people stop buying Carhart.

Not a lot made in China. Quality is too good for China.

The issue is wages. We have a great divide in incomes, the upper crust live in multi million $ homes and may have several homes. I don't begrudge any of these people but how do you equal this out, without turning into a socialist country, tax the hades out of the wealthy and start give aways, then were back to socialism?

But that’s not going to happen.
Look at NFL, the last two weekends were the best NFL in our lifetimes Cap. Bubba was going to boycott NFL because guys were taking a knee for a couple minutes before the game started….

That’s over, the stands are full….

I actually have friends with money and we all grew up trying to make a buck, but now they don’t want to raise the minimum wage even up to $15. I said it’s just not kids on minimum wage, there are a lot of people with kids trying to make a living off minimum wage. And it can’t be done .

That’s why manufacturing isn’t coming back. The people working in factories all over Asia are working for 25% of what Canadians, Europeans and Americans are working for. If manufacturing came home, the price of everything would go up 75% and the manufacturers couldn’t meet the EPA’s regulations….and that speaks nothing to the cost of building and tooling American manufacturing centers again….

But all I heard from so many was that they were done with NFL…
My point Cap, is that people don’t really boycott or for long….🤷‍♂️
