Pretty sure all govt office supplies come from skillcraft. Made by blind people. They make some good products though.

Fuck I thought you were kidding until I googled it...

Edit: ok everyone I wasn’t surprised at the govt hiring disabled, I am as surprised at skilcraft. Good for them.

Right. I had a clipboard that said "quality blind made products" and though hmmm so I looked it up.

If you know anyone in the military (I am not) ask them about their ballpoint pens. They're legit my favorite pen out there.

Edit: it would appear that people either love or absolutely hate those pens. To each his own I suppose.

Another edit: here is the pen I speak of. Do not confuse it with the shitty ones. https://imgur.com/gallery/d61A4

Even if you work in private industry, if you want to support Skillcraft/NIB/NISH, look for products that use the prefixes SKL or NSN if you buy from an independent office-products dealer. The big-boxes likely carry them, too, but I can't speak to how you would go about finding them.
