Shooting yourself in the foot

Gone clothes shopping lately? I do not mean at the top of the line stores, I mean the mid-range, average Joe kinda place.

The stores display racks and racks of clothes made from material that comes from the chemical industry. Women in China, who work for pennies a day, make the garments. Who benefits from the millions of dollars shoddy workmanship and low labor costs produce?

When did the American people decide to screw themselves? When did the greed take over? By buying these products, we kill another American business or three.

How much money do you save when you have to replace the item four times a year?

I need to open a store, Just for Grandma. American workers using American materials, would make the clothes. Some designer would consider whether bending over would cause the garment to tear or bind your stomach so you cannot breath. Armed with this information he/she would produce clothing we would want.
