Nike, Gap, Old Navy; Everybody in sweatshops.

Fact: Women in El Salvador are paid just 29 cents for every $140 Nike NBA jersey they sew. That means their wages are .002% the retail price of the jersey.

Fuck labels.

that's american, which i'm not. That is all thanks to the chimp bush.

[knightsreign4u]

lol maybe cheap and all but you got to say he's given the US military 3 or 4 raises already so im happy :D

[argmatey]

hey and its raises thanks to YOUR tax dollars.

Actually, 29 cents out of $140 would be about 0.2% (two parts in a thousand), not 0.002% (two parts in 100,000). (0.29 cents out of $140 would be 0.002%.)

But I agree it's a complete travesty.

We ship our jobs overseas while we hoard the profits here -- or, increasingly, also overseas, in *tax shelters*.

Labels are fucking horrible... I prefer DIY any day.
Anyway, I came across your journal; think it's interesting.
Add me? Or do I need to comment on your first entry...?
