They make the same product for such a low price tariffs won't work
Why should we who are not the owners of whatever intellectual property is being ripped off care?

>>543307164The good Crocs no longer get made anyway. Some years ago they got bought out or something, and the formula changed. Yeah, it's like the inner layer of sneakers, but the original Crocs had a proprietary formula for it.

>>543307164Will never happen.Wish I could find it but DeFazio had a speech on the house floor 20ish years ago about how some American companies were profiting off of manufacturing stuff in China (and/or buying from China) that was being made using American-patented tech without paying any royalties. He's been calling out how both political parties have fucked Americans over using China for decades now-https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1WcYIMILVQ0&t=100s
can someone explain the desire for crocs to me? besides being ugly, they seem like a trip hazard
>>543310288most people never wear them in situations like this but it’s for humid swampy muddy Australian territory like https://youtu.be/U_EN3rXl4tcit’s just nice to not get your socks/shoes drenched which causes moldy feet
>>543307164In the Idiocracy movie they used that crap as joke and best example for the dumbed down society's taste.Nobody would believe in the time of creation of that movie .. anyone in right mind would like to wear that junk and publicly.
I'm pretty sure I saw doctors wear those type of shoes long before crocs brand was even a thing.
>>543307164>Are patent infringement lawsuits our only viable weapon against China?Wouldn't that require Chinese courts to side in favor of American companies?
