Here's the stupidity - I didn't pick special shipping because it was local. They actually shipped the items via UPS TO the USPS and then it'll get here. It went from NJ to PA and back into NJ for delivery tomorrow.
All they had to do was put the two shirts in a padded envelope and stuff them in the mailbox and they would have been here in two days.
This isn't the first time I've seen this thing. Talk about a round about way to go from point A to point B!
You think that is fucked, did you see this?

Quote:the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently gave the green-light to four chicken processing plants in China, allowing chicken raised and slaughtered in the U.S. to be exported to China for processing, and then shipped back to the U.S. and sold on grocery shelves here.

I heard a headline - teaser yesterday about this and never stayed still long enough to hear the story. I'm afraid to read it. Fucking idiots.

It just shows how fucked up our economy is and how much we let other countries get away with devaluing our dollar and cheapening their labor force. That they can actually ship boat loads of chickens to the other side of the world to just be gutted and cut up and then shipped back.

No what we should do is lobby for legislation that forces companies to provide full disclosure on the location/s where every portion of the manufacturing process to produce the product occured, what it was, and when. By the time they look at the costs of editing a report like that for every case of (lets just say chicken for starters) product as opposed to the pennies they are saving from outsourcing it may just create a few domestic jobs in the process of making it much easier for the average citizen of the unites states of idiocracy to buy 'murican and avoid lets just say asian and the pacific island manufacturers...

RE: The Completely Pointless Thread II - twisteroo - 09-26-2013
Goddamn china can't even make dog food without fucking it up, and they want to send our chicken over there? I'll never eat chicken again, I'll start shooting crows or seagulls if I wanna eat birds.
