Business is opportunistic.

Look where these are made.
I remember seeing the first "made in Vietnam label" on an American company's sport shirts in 1963.

Pull on the Carhartt Men's Work-Dry Graphic T-Shirt and get the legendary quality and durability of the Carhartt name in a comfortable, moisture-wicking package. This cotton and polyester shirt pulls moisture from your skin and features a Carhartt graphic to help you spread the word on the toughest gear out there.

enforce some laws and not others

What do you call it when the law is arbitrary? Tyranny?

FOX is reporting previous spy swaps occurred in the middle of Freedom Bridge between West and East Berlin.

Not quite true. Freedom Bridge (Glienicker Bruecke in German) is between West Berlin and Potsdam.
It crosses the Havel River. Been there too many times to count.

The bridge is on the West side of the former American Sector of West Berlin at the West end of Potsdamer Chaussee.

East berlin was all the way across the city to (yup you guessed it!) the East side of West Berlin.

Hopefully this post has a tiny bit to the confusion.
