everything is branding now, very little is made here, maybe tasers, airplanes, jazz and bombs, though those may be outsourced to some of the occupied territories. oh, and brands, all the best, most dominant brand names are still made here. brands are our products now, we deal in packaging, the politicians are face brands, brand liars, some wear smiles and some rancid grimaces, our super-nationalist brands, branding the world.
