Good ole' California lawyers.

I guaran-damn-tee ya 90% of the population of California wasn't "Made in America".

Is anyone else curious about why willie is wearing goobs' depends?

Yeah it sucks that California will now be consistent with the rest of the country. Used to be we led the way in consumer protection.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

yea but there's some folks that always try to buy "Made in America" products" - just wondered what their take was

Since the Chiefs don't play until tomorrow, I'm sure he'll drop in to explain it to us.

It's not so much a question of quality. "American-made" doesn't carry near the weight it used to. The problem, is that the propaganda we've endured only gives the reasoning to jack prices up.

Or the price is "jacked up" is the cost of US labor? You know.....the whole reason things aren't made here.

Again - this will be another reason for our prices to be "jacked up" on everything, regardless if it's warranted or not. Maybe you should be screaming bloody murder about it since it's your moronic state.

You still don't get it, do you? California was basically the only state that was requiring a strict 100% "Made in USA" standard. From the article you posted:

All other states follow a standard laid down by the Federal Trade Commission. The agency defines products as being made in America if "all or virtually all" the parts were produced in the United States

In the past, California maintained a stricter — and, one might say, more honest — standard. To claim "made in America," 100% of a product manufactured in the state had to have been made in America.

I don't agree with the change, but California's standard is still stricter than the FTC's (and the rest of the country's) standard. If that's moronic, where does that put your state?

You're about as good with the facts as Carly Fiorina. A lot better looking though.

I get the print edition of the LA Times because the San Diego Union Tribune sucks balls. The Times is going downhill fast but I need something to read in the morning while on the shitter, and I just can't bring myself to take my iPhone in there. I'm afraid I might drop it in the soup.

You're doing it wrong.

I was reading some articles (with many ads) on Newsweek.com and after a couple it said I had met my max of articles and must subscribe to read more. What kind of BS is that? I don't think so, buddy.
