It’s weird seeing baggy cargo pants everywhere because they’re not being used for their primary purpose: concealing a Discman containing the album Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.

ALT Han Kang also discouraged her father from holding a celebratory banquet at the literary school. Her father said, "I was planning to throw a party here for the local people, but my daughter told me not to do it. She said, 'Please don't celebrate while witnessing these tragic events (referring to the two wars). The Swedish Academy didn’t give me this award for us to enjoy, but to stay more clear-headed.' After hearing that, I was deeply troubled."

I'm not a nationalist, so I don't prioritize American jobs over foreign ones. But I do care about fair wages and labor protections. Just because something was made abroad doesn't mean it was made in a sweatshop. Just because it was made in the US doesn't mean fair wages.
