Sad. Levi's went to **** when production moved away from the US.

Never mind Yankees. Take heart from the fact that Birmingham Small Arms
have done very well in India.

Jarrbs. It's all about jarrbs. Good jarrbs.

Think about the national security and the children.

Thanks for that find, my furry friend. It's a stunning example of exactly
what so many of us warned was coming from Trump's trade war. Here it is
from US source:

"Harley-Davidson will move the production of motorcycles bound for
European countries out of the United States, citing rising costs from
European Union (EU) tariffs on their products.

The company said in a filing Monday that the EU tariffs on motorcycles
exported from the U.S. rose from 6 percent to 31 percent, the Associated
Press reported. Motorcycles bound for European countries will now be
produced in overseas factories."


There is your "making America great again", in action. But heh, trade wars
are good and easy to win, right?


Last 30 years I watch so much moving away. Got a better idea ?
