With all the firings going on today...

[Deja Q]

Shouldn't they have had a firing squad?

1. I know, it's bad news isn't it

there should be a firing squad for the corporate assholes doing the offshoring

[Deja Q]

2. There already is one. It's called the

Chinese Army.

3. It's amazing the people in this country can't see what's happening

in regard to China and India. We have basically handed over our manufacturing (and our economy) to Asia.

4. Meanwhile, we're getting fed information that THEY would lose in a war:

Meanwhile, corporate america wants to transform our workforce into that of China (e.g. labor and pay standards)... then note this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/01/ap/world/mainD8ERNNUG0.shtml

Scary. (especially the second article about how "China's international image" being smeared. :eyes: )

5. Actually from what I have been reading, China is spending

way more than that on defense. One goal is to retake Taiwan and then there will be energy wars following for sure. I think even the Japanese are getting scared. People here aren't getting the message. As to the American workforce I have been saying for a long time, we will become farmers supplying the industrial and technological Asian giants. We have also given our tech to them on a silver platter while mass layoffs of techies occur here. It cannot continue unless we want to become a solely agrarian, low level economy. We are losing our science and tech types fast.
