    We’re selling our labor to employers at $20 an hour. Lord knows what they charge. It’s heinous. They’re selling our own fat asses back to us.

    To be fair, from all nationalities, Americans would make a good source of raw material for soap making. (It’s a fat joke for the people that don’t know the chemistry)

    “made with American jobs” sounds awfully a lot like “not really made in America but guy named Jobs was involved” 🤣

      Sounds like “made with real fruit juice” to me. Like they can’t legally say made in the America, but if one American job was involved, this claim is accurate.

      Guaranteed, the soap is made somewhere in Asia, the bottles are made in mexico, admin accounting and marketing is in south america or south east asia, but there’s a shed somewhere in the US with a machine that pours soap into bottles and screws the top on.

    • Or “Made with 100% Real beef.” It’s not 100% real beef. But a percentage of it is. Perhaps even 0.001%. But then it doesn’t look great to have “Made of 0.001% real beef.”

      In theory there could be two Americans involved in the production of the entire product, one who signed off on a single order for materials for this, and one who wrote the sentence “Made with American jobs.” And 200,000 foreign workers involved, and that sentence would still hold true

    What deliberately two faced language this is. The executive sitting in US contributing nothing to the creation of this product technically fulfills the statement that it’s made with American jobs.

    I wouldn’t put it past these companies to put this type of marketing on products 100% from Mexico or any other North or South American country. Gross manipulation of technical correctness.
