Part of the “Karma Kollection”.

RING AROUND THE COLLAR!

where they belong, esp Nike

I love the concept. I wonder what aß-hat landlords end up doing. Or peculatory preachers.

AMEN!

My high-end designer sneakers are made in Vietnam. I wonder how much Chau Dieu gets for her labor. A lot, probably, because it is, after all, a communist workers paradise.

China??

If only

Explains the irritating scratchy tags.

So a worker in some third world country makes 89 cents an hour and produces 100 pairs of shoes in an hour. I do realize there is overhead, but why does one of these pair of shoes cost over $100? Ok, I am sure that the big-name basketball player who spends 30 seconds telling us that HE wears them gets his cut, but where does the rest of the cost come from?

If we doubled the worker’s salary, that would raise the price of the shoes by ALMOST another penny. How inflationary!

Hey! Sweatshop’s aren’t so bad! (If you own one) !

I don’t condone sweatshops, but the implication that there’s some kind of point system of good and bad deeds to get into Heaven is patently false. How do we even know if we’ve been good enough? Who is keeping score?

They had the best price… a penny saved is a penny earned even up there.

GASP‼️ boycott‼️

That explains the itching powder in the robes.

… and this one says it was made by IVANKA.

Vendor is the Amazing Jungle Suppliers to all…

If you consider how few people can enter heaven – if the religion’s yardsticks are taken seriously – then the demand for theses frocks is low. Not much business for sweatshop owners.

…another TRUMP Enterprise?

Hmmm , a repeat comic from 2017 . Just turned up under random !
