”SHUT UP” is universally understood.

That guy’s hair could just take off and fly away.

Oh, c’mon, Kim!!

All mega-corporations use sweatshop labor to manufacture their products!!

Nike is just a spit in the ocean!!

so glad to finally catch up on this story thread! don’t know how I missed it

And Nike still uses essentially slave labor in China. And So many other companies. How many of you are buying products made by enslaved Uighur people. I stopped buying Nike years ago and anytime I find a stray nike product in my house, it goes in the trash.

At first glance, I thought Kim’s back was her front!

I think all that could be corrected if American companies were forced to bring their manufacturing back to America. I don’t expect to put that tooth paste back in the tube, but I really think it would help.

Good strip but Communist nations don’t allow Westerners to go many places unsupervised. A factory would be one such place.

Finally.

Glad to see everyone will be turning in their Iphones in protest

We live in a throw away world. Buy cheap ,and when it breaks, buy a new cheap one.

I think Kim started a loud campaign against Nike when she got back to the States.

What’s Vietnamese for “corporate toadie”?

Di di mau, you oppressive shill!

I spent decades trying to buy American, it seemed in a decade it became nearly impossible with shoes/clothes. Still only wear USA made New Balance shoes at $175 a pair. LL Bean & Cabela’s stopped both moved Jeans offshore sadly.

Mansplainin taken to the next level

Nike’s a respected company? That’s news to me.

Laymen paying top dollar (to the marketers, not workers) for high-end athletic gear is comparable to commuters/Sunday drivers shelling out for 4wd all-terrain “sport-utility” boxes suitable for hauling elephants across arroyos.
