Husqvarna irony

[Landmark]

Went by our local Husqy dealer yesterday and got a free hat and calender. When i got home i was cking them out and seems the hat has a little irony involved. Advertising Swedish made chainsaws beside American flag all on a hat made in China.

Made in Sweden, Marketed in the USA, Nether country can make hats these days...

I guess so. I was thinking it was a generic hat with our flag on it and whoever can buy them to put their company on it.

Yes,Mexico got these.

In a town of 1200, 400 jobs lost is crippling. Im still sad for the people who lost everything from it.

Glad I'm not at work, but I will post a sad pic when I am.

I joined the NRA. The gift was a pocket knife in Red white and blue anodized aluminum saying NRA. Stars and Stripes bud.

Guess what it said at the base of the blade? "Made in China". I mean, WTF?

I also have a Pentagon memorialize coin given to me by a Pentagon Police Officer I know. Same deal.

100% true. And it's getting worse by the generations.

That why the majority of college kids want Sanders for president.

Why would socialism work here when it's failed every other place.

The Iron Lady said it best. "Eventually you run out of other people's money".

Sorry for the political post Dad.

And it's not like they can't get 'em made here in the US. A friends wife works at Legacy Athletic which is local and makes tons.

Me with my favorite Husky...its really tough to get to work when you leave the house like this. The desire to just hop off the pavement and into the woods for the day is REAL strong.

Incorrect, the NRA was founded to promote "Firearms Safety Education, Marksmanship Training, Shooting for Recreation." In fact they were a proponent of gun control laws until the early 1980's and were instrumental in crafting legislation addressing concealed weapons and pushed for additional jail time when a gun was used in a felony. It was not until the leadership coup of 1977 that their original mission was hijacked and the NRA became the organization that we know today.
