Do I wear or use anything that was built with slave labor and will I face judgment?

Most stuff is only assembled / packaged in the US. Almost all the discrete parts come from some hell hole.

My deplorable roommate just buys counterfeit direct from China. She's in here trying to sell me on this app. WTF.

Wondering wtf these packages with Chinese addresses were.

Americans make me sad.

You do realize counterfeit stuff is fake right? Typically substandard, even cheaper materials? Often no quality control. I do not want to enable this.

I agree with Dino on this one. Source some quality leather and make a real American shoe. I'll take a pair of alligator skin heals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

if i can get something that's even a quarter as good as the real deal for like 1/10th of the price, its called being efficient [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey so I need quality running shoes (for actual running I don’t care about style or obese opinions) and Nike is out because of NLism. Any recommendations?

No. If you want to run, someone in the world (other than you running) is suffering by making them.

Barefoot is the only sustainable/clear conscience way.

Would go with a pair of Asics, nimbus if you've got $$$ and want the best, or Kayano or GT2000 if you want something mid-range...they're good long term investments that will look after your joints.

Just make some Nikes out of some locally sourced jeans. You'll be a hit at the club and such.

Maybe it's the beer talking but I'm down to counterfeit with Maer and her roomie. Take it back to Limp Bizkit days.

All chocolate comes from child slaves. Big companies own everything in the supply line but funny enough dont go near the harvesting...
