Most of them aren't hurting for profits, they would do quite well staying local and employing workforces here. For more and more companies to outsource they merely feed the vicious cycle of layoffs and closing of local facitilities that would otherwise employ those in the community - on the whole, this adds to unemployment, to a lower quality of life. It doesn't matter if a product is cheaper due to efficient production in the 3rd world when you have no job, or the job you can get is minimum wage.<BR/><BR/>i understand that business is in it to make a profit - but at what cost to the rest of us? where is the line drawn? we curtail monopolies so they can't control a market entirely and screw the consumer, how is putting a cap out outsourcing any different? efficiency for a company should not have an adverse effect on the economy or consumer on the whole, especially when we don't have a choice but to buy what they are selling, no pun intended. I have no sympathy for any company whose bottom line is profit regardless of the cost to everyone else, and I certainly don't call it efficient.<BR/><BR/>but hey, that's me. now about the ethanol... there, I totally agree, it's bullshit and the average joe doesn't know it. time to put the word out, time to make people aware of things like biodiesel, hydrogen ion powered engines... etc. anywho, I liked the blog regardless.<BR/><BR/>peaceout girlscout.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403018773860583648.post-55960078729447105192008-08-30T07:11:00.000-04:002008-08-30T07:11:00.000-04:00palin is a psycho, and it's insulting to be pander...palin is a psycho, and it's insulting to be pandered to by mccain and the gop in such an obvious way. i've been to alaska. it's not that great. there are a lot of caribou. woop-de-doo. on top of everything... mccain is OLD. he might be healthy today, but this is a 4 year office. president palin? hellll no. just look at her children's names, what kind of decision-making is that?! gahhh!!!<BR/>...i'm supposed to be either sleeping or moving right now. will talk to you really soon!jennrubensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597757077738636479noreply@blogger.com
