Worse than that, even. I noticed (sample size = 1) a marked decrease in Levi Stauss' quality as much as ten years ago . . . probably because some bean-counter determined that it could save a few pennies on crappy imported material.

Think it was a LOT more then a few pennies, might have even been enough to cover the increased health care and retirement costs that American workers demanded until that got too much and their jobs went overseas.

... and people wonder why most of the cars in the parking lots are not made in Detroit anymore ...
