Chinese Chukkas

[buoy37]

This may not be the best place to bring this up, but this is modern day version of casual conversation and these things need to be mentioned.

I made a trip to my local Western Wear store to purchase a pair Justin Sport Chukkas to wear to a concert tomorrow night. Imagine how disappointed I was to find out they were MADE IN CHINA. I would even tolerate them being made in Mexico. If they were manufactured in Mexico, it would help keep a few Mexicans employeed and not making an illegal journey into the US.

I wrote Justin Boots a letter of disappointment. They sent back a prewritten automated response.

Here is their automated reply:

Jason,



Thank you for contacting Justin. Justin does pride its self on making a quality product at both our domestic and off-shore facilities. As well as manufacturing at our El Paso, TX and our Missouri plants Justin does manufacture at off-shores plant in China, and Mexico.

Justin moved some of our production to off-shore facilities in order to meet market demands. By moving some production to off-shore plants Justin is able to remain competitive in the market place thus allowing Justin to maintain jobs in our domestic plants for our "American workers". We have many styles made at our domestic plants. You may want to visit a local Justin dealer for help in making a selection in one of these styles.

Thank You,
Justin Brands Inc.

I happen to work with the CEO of Ortega Enterprises. He sells CEBU boots out of the back of his truck.

Obama is giving the USA to ChiComm anyway so his "like-thinkers" (Commie Bastages) can take-over all the mfg in the US-which means outsource it everywhere. Think about how his "Green Energy" BS will "help" the US-let's see, Mitsui makes the wind turbines, Korea/Japan makes most all the other green BS, so why not kill/eliminate the remaining US employers by implementing "Carbon Taxes" against US companies-simple solution for US Companies-leave the US and outsource to countries that do not penalize you-what a complete MORON!! Farging bastage.
