We dig into the real story behind luxury brands and how nearly everything bearing designer labels is actually made in China for pennies on the dollar. Social media is exposing this reality as Chinese manufacturers offer to ship products directly to consumers at a fraction of retail prices.

• Tariffs aren't a new "trade war" but an attempt to create equal trading relationships after decades of imbalance
• Chinese manufacturers are revealing that luxury items costing thousands are made for just dollars
• Many luxury brands ship materials to China for manufacturing, then add only the label in France or Italy to claim it's "made" there
• Employment agencies serve as expensive middlemen, often paying workers less than half of what companies pay the agency
• Conservative viewpoints face stricter censorship on platforms like TikTok while liberal content faces fewer restrictions
• Economic factors like the stock market primarily affect wealthy investors, not everyday working people

Thank you for tuning in and joining us. If you want to support our show for $3 a month, which you can cancel anytime, we will include a shout-out for you. Stay safe and do not drink and drive.
