Of course, the ideal situation would be for everyone to keep their business in their home country, wouldn't it? But if someone higher up sees a way to save some money by moving production of any kind, it's hard to refute. I can remember back in the 70s when there was a major stink because a car maker used an engine that was produced in another country.
Nike, Chrysler, GM, Ford, ad nauseum, have all moved process outside the country of origin to save money. My daughter and I had a talk just this weekend about the cost of employment and why some companies see the answer as large numbers of part-time workers to reduce the bottom line. And the answer is: We have an obligation to the stockholders. I guess that means employees are like furniture and are expendable?
