Things keep going upwards, I think we're going to see some serious issues. The shipping, trucking, and airline industries are near the breaking point. The increases in costs are reflected back to the customer, affecting nearly every individual and business in America. Think about it, what business does not pay to have things shipped to/from them?
I brought tops back to U.S. production: Fabric out of CA, cut&sew in PA, silkscreen in SC.

It's a production mess and I hope to centralize in CA next year. the problem, of course, is that this country isn't set up for production anymore, at least in terms of clothing manufacturing.

I like Obama's green economy plan. I think there are a ton of good jobs out there waiting to be created around solving our current and future energy/transportation challenges.
