37. Hah- I propose a game. Let's take off our clothes and try to find "Made in U.S.A." labels

I'll go first-
Jacket- R.E.I. (old hand me-down from teenage nephew, to my son, to me) "Made in Taiwan"
Fleece pullover- Eddie Bauer (at least 14-years-old, Christmas present) "Made in Hong Kong"
Turtleneck- Eddie Bauer (at least 14-years-old Christmas present) no "Made in" label found
Pants- Cotton pajama-bottom style, bought from Banana Republic when the couple who started it in one tiny store in Mill Valley, CA in the late 70's traveled and bought lots of old military and other surplus clothing around the world. If these pants ever had a "Made in" label, it wore out!
Footwear- Acorn cotton/leather sock slippers (brand new from Goodwill - $ 6.00!) "Made in China"

The more I think about it, I may have to assuage my guilt by retiring to a vegan, solar powered, self-sustaining nudist colony!

Trump is a threat to humanity. If a board member of a national chain is shilling for him, Squinch Jan 2017 #47

Not because of one member; because they stood up for her. Crash2Parties Jan 2017 #6

No they didn't Blue_Warrior Jan 2017 #7

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. If you want to boycott Linda Bean, Fla Dem Jan 2017 #25

L.L. Bean is one of her companies, and the only one that's received my dollars. Iggo Jan 2017 #29

No it's not her company. She is only on their BOD. Other BOD members support Dems Fla Dem Jan 2017 #32

She's not one of the owners? Iggo Jan 2017 #34

Yes she is. The bio I read on her only mentioned her BOD position. But so are other family members Fla Dem Jan 2017 #35
