Now it does.

Back in the day, they were screen printing T-shirts and items here in the US because it was still efficient to do so.

But as you're implying, the logistics operations in China, and look, whether you're talking about crime or genuine products, China perfected logistics with factories and shipping.

So yeah, a lot of the stuff now, it just comes straight from China because it's cheaper.

No one really needs to set up a factory here.

You'll find one once in a while, but yeah, it'll usually come in through either postal, DHL, or through a container.

Nowadays, you'll find places that have some counterfeits, but a lot of other products too.

Again, with the comic and cartoon type of characters,

Um, that stuff you'll see, like, you know, whether it's Hello Kitty or, you know, Batman or something like that.

Yeah.

So for a lot of the hobby items, like, I mean, it's everything Rick and Morty.

I mean, everything you could think of.

I mean, there are bongs with those trademark characters on them, you know, South Park, all that kind of stuff.

And a lot of that is peppered in with genuine product.

You know, you'll have a store that sells, whether it's like a hobby store in a mall that sells all those novelty items, you'll find some counterfeits peppered in with those items.

As far as the counterfeit purses and things like that in the swap meets, you'll still see them.

They're everywhere.

and purse parties all over the place.

Like I live in a wealthy suburb here in Dallas.

And I'll be sitting at the bar telling somebody what I do whatever talking about it.
