I got that same email and thought
Hell, some of the best weed doesn't even come from the US. Some of the best beer comes from Europe. And I've heard a thing or two about prostitutes from overseas in both directions...
Tattoos on the other hand.. I have no idea where that ink still comes from.
That and we're moving away from production and into service as a nation (due to about a bajillionty reasons). So, simply because something isn't made here doesn't mean that we're not seeing a profit from it. That's what irks me about these emails - they don't take into account changes in our society and economy. Rather than taking the information and improving upon the situation with what we're 'best/better' at, people like my family members who send me emails about 50 times a day would rather gripe that we're not 'producing' anything any more. I want to tell them to leave their desk jockey jobs and get on the factory line if it's so important to them.
OK, so I've been made sensitive. To note, 50 emails is an exaggeration, but I do average about 20-25 emails a day, 50% of which are likely to be some form of propaganda.
Is it okay to put your family members' email addresses on a blacklist?
