Not Made in the USA.

Baseballs are one of the items listed as "Not In America". I just found out that Gerber's Baby Food is made oversees and now Busch Beer is going out. How do we stop the bleeding?

If you can't beat them, own them :smxF:

As long as outsourcing makes senses for every business owner in a capitalistic way of thinking, I can't see much that can be done about it. Might aswell own the businesses who profit from the outsourcing, and try to lever the money into new industries and techonologies that will not be outsourced easily.

If we would like to lower the bleeding rate - our best bet is to promote human rights and worker's benefits in developing countries so they would match the U.S's, or alternatively lowering the life standards in the U.S :coco: (I believe both will happen with time).

You can stop the bleeding by "voting" with your wallet.

The only way America is going to pull through this mess is with a productive capacity; go out there are support your community and local manufacturers/ brewers.

Sniff, Sniff smells like opportunity...
