Imagine being promoted to an assistant manager at Dollar General, aka The Chinese Consulate, Retail Division, for the princely sum of $9 an hour. And, there’s the additional irony that Pam Fleck insists on driving not just an American-made car, but a Ford Taurus due to the high percentage of American-made parts, all while working at a place where, outside of foodstuffs, you’ll find it near impossible to find made-in-America items.
And, before she bought the Taurus, did Fleck check where her own small-price buys were made? Does she today? Or is it just with cars, since she is in Michigan?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
