Or, to put it another way, Nike keeps 800,000 jobs out of America.Īdditionally, GDM is accepting orders for Grateful Dead merchandise at that are sold out and are not returning calls or emails to issue refunds or credits. The seventy-two Nike factories in China represent 15% of the total number of factories in China and are a significant contributor to China’s air pollution, the worst in the world, global warming, and climate change. Ninety-six percent of the shoe manufacturer’s production takes place in China, Indonesia and Vietnam. The optics of working with Nike are poor, to be kind. Whoever is running the show at GDM is asleep at the moral wheel. In the middle of America’s current meltdown, where intelligence and morality have gone the way of manners and Godliness, I do not need to learn a “sneaker scalper industry” even exists and worse, I do not need to know its scalping frenzy is being fueled by a branch of the Grateful Dead organization. The bots utilized by sneaker scalpers and the sneaker scalper industry itself. The sneaker deal with Nike is gloss and glimmer on the surface, but beneath the surface, GDM and the Core Four are supporting China, its human rights violations, its economy, its theft of intellectual property rights, its sweatshops, its “re-education” camps, and forced child labor.Īdditionally, GDM and the Core Four are fueling the thriving “sneaker scalper industry.” Literally, hundreds of thousands of people, including many Deadheads, were forced into a lottery to buy the recently-released Nike sneakers that feature images of the 13-point lightning bolt and the Dancing Bears.Īnd Deadheads are pissed off because they were the “losers” in the lottery. The Core Four and GDM have buried themselves in yet another neck-deep moral conundrum by signing a multi-million dollar merchandising deal with Nike. When Jerry passed away 25 years ago, the Grateful Dead lost not only their leader but their voice of reason and morality. The Grateful Dead organization, Grateful Dead Merchandising, the Core Four, and Dead & Company have all lost their moral compasses. NIKE: Made in China with Forced Labor!įrom Aces Back To Back: (added July 28, 2020) WHY DON’T YOU ORDER ANOTHER “DICK’S PICKS” CD FROM DEAD.NET INSTEAD. WWJD? What Would Jerry Do? Can’t believe this is really a thing. Merchandising is one thing, SELLING OUT IS ANOTHER!īill Walton is shilling these too. (Get your Grateful Dead Merch at Walmart and Target!)
