My brain is kind of fried since I had a 2 hour political debate w/ Mr 33's friend last night at 3 in the morning, but I have one thing to say: NAFTA blows.
Another factory in the Johnstown/Altoona area of PA (where I am originally from) just closed because it's cheaper for the sleazebags of VF to ship the work to Mexico. This is putting a lot of older women who have been there all their lives out of work. Many of them do not even have high school diplomas and now they're being thrown back into the work force at age 50 - 55. And they have to continue to work - retirement is not an option.
It pisses me off no end to see a company that has gotten so rich selling its products to women, can be allowed to treat women like this. NAFTA needs to go far away and NOW.
