  2.500 — do you mean 2,500 (two-thousand five-hundred)or do you mean two and a half jeans per day? I’m guessing jeans would be a lot more expensive if it were only 2 and a half.

  15 minutes? And they’re mostly made in countries where the wages are peanuts. So why do we have to pay $70 per pair?!

  Z, in many non-English-speaking countries, a period is used as the “thousand separator,” with a comma where we would use a decimal point.

  Levi’s are made in northern Mexico in small towns where there’s no other jobs to take and the minimum wage is around $5.2 USD a DAY. Most people who have worked in these shops for more than 20 years are all having lung problems because of the residue of the denim that constantly floats around the work area.

  15 minutes? All that means is that the Thai children need to work faster. Faster, I say! Daddy needs his dungarees!
