Only $1,550.00 for this small bag from Nordstrom (you do get free shipping). Supposedly "made in Italy," but I have read that the definition of "made in" is very elastic. "Made in" could mean mostly made somewhere else by cheap labor, and shipped to Italy so that some final part can be added, and woila! - Made in Italy.

It's even worse. They have cargo ships parked offshore in Italian waters, filled with Chinese workers who cannot legally enter Italy. They do all of the work on the ships, bring the items ashore for wholesale distribution, and you get "Made in Italy." Well, it was...kind of.

Of course, we in turn offer you the Armenian mafia, and their illegal alien workers (half of whom are men who look like they just got of out an MS-13 meeting) in garage sweatshops in Los Angeles and bring it to you as "Made in the USA" - so we aren't doing a whole lot better. :)

But we hold this election at America's cash registers every day, and cheap beats quality every single time.
