We will find out that Mitt Romney ordered the US Olympic teams uniforms from Burma.

It's possible E&H didn't know about this, but - they should have checked.

I've been involved in sourcing products overseas, and usually, unless you're a WalMart, you're working through third and fourth parties - export brokers - and not directly with the plant or shop where the items are actually made. (For instance, an order for 1000 t-shirts through a broker might be fulfilled by a dozen or more of these little shops.)

When you inquire about working conditions, some of these brokers will flat out lie to you - or they don't know themselves because THEY never checked. Nevertheless, there are ways, short of traveling to the country and clapping eyes on each source yourself, to be reasonably confident that you're not purchasing items that are made in sweat shops, or in factories with unsafe conditions, etc.

Of course, large importers have their own representatives on the ground in country and they usually do visit the shops/factories in person.

Ed & Harriet's should have checked out their sources. It's just one aspect of running an ethical business. Even businesses that have no ethical culture should be self-interested in avoiding the awful negative PR that results from indifference to or carelessness about such matters.

This past month, there was much outrage over the fact that General Electric, despite making $14.2 billion in profits, paid zero U.S. taxes in 2010. General Electric actually received tax credits of $3.2 billion from American taxpayers. At the same time that General Electric was not paying taxes, many undocumented immigrants, who are typically accused of taking advantage of the system while not contributing to it by many on the right, paid $11.2 billion in taxes.

Older Women Versus Younger Women And Trump/ClintonOct 10, 2016
Women who "like" Trump are invariably older and don't like Hilary Clinton because they were raised in an era of economic competition with each for men. In the old days, men generally took care of their women, and some women lucked out with good men and some stuck it out with bad ones. Young women can take care of themselves economically so aren't as threatened by other women so they're more apt to go for HIllary. Older women also don't like Clinton because she stuck with her ...

Georgia--No ACA, No Emergency Room CareMar 01, 2014
Talk about getting what you vote for. Move out of Georgia if you can. . . **** Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) has a problem: rural hospitals keep closing, overwhelmed by financial troubles they can’t solve on their own. The obvious solution – accepting Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act – is the one thing Deal refuses to even consider. There is no great mystery here as to why the rural hospitals can’t keep their doors open. These facilities have routinely covered low- ...
