Levi Strauss & Co., the California Gold Rush outfitter whose blue jeans are a globally recognized symbol of America, closed its last two U.S. sewing plants Thursday.

Now that's just sad. The truly ironic part? The new industry moving into San Antonio? Toyota. Irony, anyone?

Hard to believe that Levi's had 63 U.S. manufacturing plants just ten years ago.
"We have to operate as a global company."
What a nice way to say "we need cheaper labor."
