85. We're still screwed

US Textile companies have left the country. Kaput. Fabric comes from overseas. Ditto, buttons, thread.

There is no way out, other to bring the jobs back and I'm clueless. I'll leave the heaving lifting to the policy wonks are smarter than I.

I've been aware of the situation for a while now but, seeing the pictures - worth 1 million words.

Sent this article to everyone in my contact list.

My husband works for a large furniture chain - not EA. Not ONE STICK of furniture is made in the USA. Remember NC the Furniture capital of world? I live in NC fuggedaboudit.

Even high end Ethan Allen - same thing.
