Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Profit over people is a choice. Nothing about greed is a law of nature, and the nurse in the tee watched her hospital close a maternity unit to protect a margin and read the board minutes where the vote was recorded, with names, as a choice. Putting the blame where it belongs is the shirt. This tee puts it there, in six words.

Wear it to the hospital board meeting, the nurses' union rally, the town hall on the closure, the state house hearing, and the family dinner where a relative says that is just business. It is a strong gift for a hospital nurse, a union steward, a patient who drove the extra hour, and the friend who read the board minutes.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a town hall on the closure. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the board-minutes entry in the eat the rich collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Is this the same as greed is not a virtue? Cousins. That one is the value judgment; this one is the vote in the minutes, with names.

Would a nurses' union order these for the rally? Unions do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black and Chambray. White for the rally.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the picket line, the rent strike, the grocery store, the shareholder meeting you were not invited to.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
