How did this retardation get normalized?

When he stole Owen Benjamin jokes.
The rightwingers. The free marketers. This the mess of the rightwing, explicitly. This is "free market capitalism" fucking seethe you morons on this site caused this bullshit. Just like with everything you cause and then turn around and bitch about, without the slightest hint of self-awareness, because of how genuinely profoundly stupid, on top of the evil, you all are
If the minimum wage was below tem bucks an hour shoes would be cheap still. Also if gad an electricity was cheap which is more important.

It's true. Actually most of the sneakers you buy cost ten, twenty dollars. The rest is marketing and profits for companies.
the cost of living demands workers get paid more in america. everything made in america will either be more costly or crappier made to adjust for the cost of labor
its simple math OP. even at $7.50 its like 10 times what some one makes in china typically. at $15 its not possible to have various goods made in america. thats the spread across the country and its not even enough to make ends meet in some states. you need to make like $3 more a hour than minimum wage to be ok
They wouldn’t be that much, but they’d be 200% more than costs for standard name brands, maybe more. Saves a lot to pay Chinks 50 cents an hour on the labor side.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
But if we made sneakers in the USA yeah they would cost 6000 dollars but you would also have 6000 dollars lol... most people have like 5 bucks in their savings

>conveniently forgets Bill Clinton gave China “Most favored trade” status and helped usher in the first major push to move most manufacturing overseas
You leftists love to deny reality, too bad for you, it starts with your kind, niggers.
"Free trade" isn't a democrat or leftwing thing. Never will be no matter how much you try to pretend it is. It comes from republicans. Rightwingers. This simply is not a matter up for debate but you're welcome to continue crying about it by pulling dumb things out of context
You can literally buy US made shoes for $200 and they’re made out of suede and top-end materials. They’re more expensive but the average person could afford one of they made budget options (kids US made versions are 110, which is basically the same labor but less materials)
I wear a pair of these when I drive my geo metro because my PT Cruiser is in the shop
That’s a weird way of giving up on an argument after realizing you’re wrong
No we would just wear crappier shoes and keep them longer, get them repaired etc. That's how everything was in the old days, in Ireland for example if you look at old photos of perfectly respectable middle class people, when they had tears in their clothing, needed them taken in or out etc. they would get a sewing lady to patch/sew them.
The best part about these shoes is that they’re owned by dads and rich Japanese and Korean international students, no in between
Free trade is a republican / rightwing thing. Democrats / leftwing opposes it. This is the simple reality no matter how much you wanna cry about it
Kinda like the left wanting universal healthcare and the right opposing it. Similar sorta deal
Calm down nigger, no need for such hateful language. We will never get to the bottom of this if we can not converse in a civilized manner, man to nigger.
Nobody here is in favor of free market capitalism
