Denise's very own NONSENSE THREAD

Oh yeah I was 3/4 a sleep when I wrote that post.

Well I was wondering. I've heard of moon pies but not banana pies. But I guess since it is a Monkey we are talking about the banana pies seems more appropriate.

is that size 5 in american clothes or in a third world country?

 

[denisegg]

I could get into the fact that the textile and clothing industries are shifting to the third world and many women who have sewn for a living their entire lives are being laid off because of the shift to cheap labor causing further economic distress to our country but, then again.....this is the nonsense thread.

Alzheimer's

Older memories seem recent, more recent memories are harder to recall.

Poor Denise, but at her age, this isn't surprising.

It is still affecting the economy where I live. The plant here left the cutting plant, sales and administration here. The quality of the product has suffered and therefore the business as a whole has suffered and is causing more layoffs.

Hey!!! It affected my favorite clothing store!!! This particular company use to be the supplier for Victoria's Secret. They lost their contract because of poor quality after the shift to third world country labor!

there's a trickle down to that.

the company loses money and can't pay it's workers
workers can't go and buy a new car
car dealer can't make it's United Way contribution due to lack of sales
charity programs go underfunded because the United Way is down.
etc....

Well note you said it wasn't just cost, but quality. sounds like they partially screwed themselves there.

It is true!! The quality suffered. Their "cheap" labor could not produce the quality of product that the workers here were doing. Garments were being sent back to America to be repaired. The whole process was disastrous and the cost became too prohibitive to constantly repair the damaged garments and try to get them up to the standards of a retail outlet such as VS. Therefore, what once was sold to high end stores now goes to the cheaper retail chains.
