For the record, the majority of Timbuk2's bags are made in China. It's only their custom bags that are made in the city.

I think it's cute that you skirted my main point. A car isn't a necessary commodity. Food is. Housing is. Cars aren't. For the poorest Americans, the necessary acts of eating and securing shelter consume the vast majority of their incom
