    Based on this watch from the same company, expecting a Shinola (or even Invicta) would be optimistic.

    You really want to go here? Temptation affects people in all walks of life.

    "Joe Ashton has spent 50 years working for the workers of the UAW."

    I believe it was 50 years working for himself.

    Well of course you can’t spend money on an item when it’s only meant to line your pocket

    Why no! No corporation ever exploited a worker! Goodness no.

    unfortunately, gouging and greed seem to be part of what makes the world go round... its quite depressing really.
