I got a new phone recently, and flipping over the quick-start leaflet noticed "Printed in USA" on the back. Sure, as far as the product itself goes, the components are made in China and assembled in Taiwan and the charger is made in Singapore and the patent's Japanese and everything's packaged by Indonesian eight-year-olds and it's all being marketed by some South Korean art and design studio and the paper and cardboard all come from some Madagascar bamboo plantation and the profits regardlessly all vanish into some offshore tax shelter... but! We can all rest easy knowing our leaflet printing industry's still going strong.

Whew.
Had me worried there for a second.
