T.L. here's another view on the evil's of outsourcing, here in Alabama 3 major world (Non-U.S.) auto makers have out sourced jobs, from their countries to the heart of Dixie. In other words some U.S. companies send jobs overseas, but overseas companies send jobs here also. It's a two way street, and plain SMART business to move your plants closer to the consumer and cut shipping/import costs, or move your plants to cut labor costs. When I was a kid a simple calculator, not a fancy one but one that only added, subtracted, multiplied, and divied cost upwards of $150! That's 1972 dollars! They were calculators made in the U.S., now you can pick up a simple calcuator for $2, made someplace else. The reality is ALL people want better for cheaper, if anyone has any doubt about that go trade in you current computer, with pieces-parts made all over the world cheaply. Buy the manufacturing equiptment (NOT THE pieces-parts already made by some company outsourcing the labor) needed to make everything on in a computer and build your own. In other words do it ALL you own damnself.
