Damned ugly uniforms. But why is anyone surprised that they're made in china? RL's "off the rack" clothing has been made in China for years.
That was my thought, I wouldn't turn the suit back for origin, I'd turn it back for ugly as sin.

I thought the Olympics were supposed to promote world peace and understanding, not rampant nationalism. In that vein, I don't see why there is a controversy.
:wink2:
Because the media is all about controversy, it gets people riled up and keeps them distracted. that's media's roll in the game. as their reward, the more inflamed and distracted they keep them, the more they get paid for it in advertising revenue.
It's really pretty easy to figure out. See if you can meditate yourself into P.T. Barnum's eyes and think, "How do I best get their money?" You gotta think like a con man, a bunko artist, because the smart ones of those are the people who succeed. They are socio paths who have a love of money and contemp of mankind that is on par with mine. I have met these people on yachts, we always laugh and get on well because we share that same contempt. The difference between us though is that I have no love for money and I'd like to improve that situation whereas they want to exploit it. They laugh at all of you with evil malevolence, I laugh at you because I enjoy a good Shakespeareian comedy cum tragedy.

I'm not even sure it's still possibile to make high tech equipment without using foreign-made components. Are capacitors, resistors, memory chips, LCD displays, etc., etc. still made on U.S. soil? What would it cost to set up production lines for them, and are the taxpayers willing to pay the increased costs that would result?

I've seen companies that design and setup nearly foolproof assembly lines here then load the equipment into a shipping crate and off it goes overseas for the actual production beyond the prototype builds.
Even american dirt isn't made in america. Some of it blows in from Africa and Mexico.

That's how you control the quality of your product and your plant manager has the on off switch and you keep things hidden and secret to protect you market.
