p.s. In total, I spent about $1000 of out of pocket money on this research over the past 4 months… including round trip tickets to LA to visit the company’s factory and interview workers and management … if you appreciate this kind of research and would like to see more of it, please consider making a contribution to Knowmore this month. As I said, this article represents hundreds of hours of work … and for me personally, and Knowmore collectively, to continue in this vein we’re going to need your financial support.
