American-made flip flops?

Here ya go, 88 bucks at Brooks Brothers. They’ll ship ‘em to ya overnight, order today, have ‘em by Tuesday:


Other than making an affiliate commission for selling Brooks Brothers flip-flops, do you actually have a point?

“If I can’t buy something “Made in the USA”, that’s a FACT, not an opinion.”

Just pointed out where you can buy something “made in the USA”, if that’s what you want. Wasn’t that the point of your post?

My broader point is this: What this recent popularity of trade protectionism is about is removing options from people by government fiat. If people want to buy cheap crap made in China from Walmart, fine, let ‘em. I don’t really have a dog in that fight, since the only thing I ever used to buy at Walmart was ammo, which is now hard to to in South Cali because the PC nitwits here have persuaded most Walmarts here to stop selling it.

You want to buy high-quality goods made here in the US? I know I certainly do, and Google makes it easier than it’s ever been. I just don’t care for folks making that decision on behalf of others. You know, that whole freedom of choice thing. Not very popular these days, I realize, but it’s still a thing.
