    I find Trader Joes "Jo Jos" to be much better. However German owned Trader Joes is fanatical about not revealing where their products are made.

    Oreos are a symbol of the repression of whites. And in some cases, yellows, and browns.

    The larger problem is the way the federal state and local governments tax employers in the states. Our system makes it advantages for them to move elsewhere.

    I can't say I blame them, but yes. I buy made in US products and support those who stay here when I have a choice.

    You need to pay attention to the not so subtle cues from BigCookie. Whenever I buy Oreos, I eat them 2 at a time. But first, I twist off 3 of the outside cookies and throw them away. I then sandwich the remaining cookie between the two middles. Then I present them to God..."thy will be done", then eat the new master cookie sandwich.

    Texchnically, the OP is wrong...

    Guzzinati said that while some of the products, like Oreo cookies, will no longer be made in Chicago, they will continue to be produced at Mondelez plants in Fair Lawn, N.J., and Portland.
    The Nabisco plant makes more than just Oreos.

    This is nothing new. The link I just provided in from January. This next link is 10 months old:

    What part of the article do you not understand?

    "will begin laying off 600 workers at its Chicago bakery on March 21. The cuts come as Mondelez shifts work to four new cookie and cracker production lines in Mexico, a $130 million investment expected to be completed by the middle of this year........
    The company will still have about 600 workers, about half of the current employee headcount, at their bakery on the city’s Southwest Side."

    Will be interesting to see if Nabisco - Mondelez will mark the pachages correctly so consumers can see where the cookies are made:

    "the famous cookie will also continue to be made at U.S. facilities in New Jersey, Oregon and Virginia. Beyond the U.S. and Mexico, Oreos are also made in 16 other countries for sale in international markets."

    My prediction is they will have some schemey labeling that says "distributed by Nabiscam USA" like Trader Blows does with it's Jo Joes. Su ion is Joe Joes are made in China.

    Your Republicans seem to have a plan: keep the minimum wage fixed until it drops below what the Mexicans are getting paid.

    I understood it just fine.

    I guess your are a stupid idiot.

    It isn't just Oreos being having a factor made for them in Mexico, but other biscuit cookies too. Plus, there will still be factories in the states making them.

    Why should they do anything different that everyone else?

    What gets me is the same people complaining about these jobs going elsewhere buy Japanese cars and other items from other countries that US manufacturers make too.

    ing hypocrites!

    I buy USA products when I can. Yes, they generally cost a little more for the same quality, but I am no hypocrite.

    You're just short sighted. You'd be hard pressed to find mass produced goods in America that aren't actually being manufactured in China and assembled or branded here. It's too expensive to manufacture everything here. Even products with the US flag on it "made in the USA" have components made in China. It's a global economy. There's no mom and pop Walmart. Companies like Samsung produce more goods here than companies like Apple. Isn't that odd?

    You can be one of the funniest posters on here.
    But then again, my taste has come into question by the teeming millions who inhabit this site.

    Your Avante parodies were hilarious as well.
