Why run their noses in it, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-30941689215407700092008-03-28T19:59:00.000-05:002008-03-28T19:59:00.000-05:00There are things that are shipped from the US to C...There are things that are shipped from the US to China every single day. Boatloads of stuff.

I think most executives watching the NCAA Tourney new very well that they can go the other way just as easily.

There is absolutely no truth in advertising, just spin.Joey Woodallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04382973985646231627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108456.post-28615295198413588222008-03-28T10:04:00.000-05:002008-03-28T10:04:00.000-05:00The ad isn't right for this decade, maybe, but it ...The ad isn't right for this decade, maybe, but it is possible to sell to China in a few years. Currency changes alone have swung the balance more than 8% in the last year. Vietnam is supposedly the new cheap labor. The dollar drop is killing our usual mode of operation, but it opens up a whole new list of customers if you are watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
