Everyone posting on this thread is doing so on a computer or smart phone made offshore. Probably from China or Indonesia. Lol

Just out of curiosity, how do you propose to do that? If it could be done at a profit, don't you think people already would be doing it?

The people making U.S. flags out of country are paying workers $2-4/hr. Think you can find a reliable worker to sweat in a factory for $15/hr in MS, when air-conditioned Lowe's pays more than that?

And then what about rent/property costs?

All the legally mandated BS U.S. companies have to deal with? Insurance....emissions....OSHA crap, etc. etc., none of which apply in other craphole countries?

If people want manufacturing to return to the U.S.......there is only one way to do it.....and it's NOT tariffs. It's deregulation.

And that will never happen......

the best American companies can do is to produce a product that is profitable enough to offset the ridiculous regulations they must abide by.......

And that ain't flags or tennis shoes.

You won’t find a worker that will sweat in a factory for 15$/hr

But a robot will,,,,, for almost next to nothing

That’s how manufacturing will return stateside

Again,,,,,,, technology is deflationary

…. Probably more of a demand for foreign flags than US flags in this country these days

I fly an American flag all year. For over 40 years of my life.
Can't say they've been all American made, but neither are my clothes, electronics, car parts, food etc....

No wind right now, but here's Old Glory!

My wife is American made wink

I seen one of them folded flags in a triangular case at a pawn shop in Grand Forks, ND a couple years ago. I asked if it was genuine?
"You Betcha!"
The case was fake wood, plexiglass for a window, looked like crap really. What a joke.


Wind Blew, crap flew, out came the line crew
