It sort of seems to me that getting upset with the offshore companies is like getting upset with the person your husband or wife has an affair with...It is your husband or wife that you should be pissed at, not necessarily the person they choose to sleep with.
Shouldn't we be angry that U.S. companies would try to cut costs by outsourcing labor and parts to foreign companies? For instance, If microphone diaphrams (many are made cheaply in China) were brought from U.S. companies instead of from Chinese companies (assuming there are U.S. made diaphrams), the microphones would cost more, but it might create more jobs and keep money in the U.S. Likewise, if U.S. auto makers closed factories in foreign countries before closing the facotries here, cars might cost a little more, but more jobs would be retained. Is this thinking correct or incorrect?
It seems like rather than being pissed at the Chinese, we should, instead, say f*** you to the likes of GM, Hewlett Packard, ect...
