Well ,the same way some get praise the same way the greedy ones need to be pointed out.
IBM announced that it will take overseas a number of white collar jobs.
The kind of white collar jobs that CAN NOT be replaced by the measly "burger-flipping" jobs generated by this chugging economy.
Like this, the stuffed shirts in their monkey suits will be able to keep their big salaried perks.

Ahh, the world market place in action. Seems like those who loose their jobs to overseas markets are not the only unhappy ones. Those who receive them eventually cry fowl/exploitation.
Have faith T3KTON, the benefit of doing buisness this way will come back to you [hopefully, you will be alive to enjoy it].

There are many jobs available for displaced tech workers these days, the only problem is you will need to work three of them to equal the pay of previous occupation. :p

Apologies for sarcasm...or maybe not. ;) US citizens were forewarned that manufacturing jobs would be a thing of the past, & thats come true. Some 3 million manufacturing jobs have evaporated in last 3 1/2 years.
We were also told that as a result, the US would become a service industry, where displaced manufacturing workers could migrate for good pay.
Now, it seems service industry jobs are being exported en masse.

Learn how to drive a truck or operate a fork lift:
The US is fast becomming a massive distribution system of world goods
We have no one else to blame except ourselves, our government.
We want cheap goods, & we are too lazy to legislate, too lazy to vote.

Who was it that said "...we get the govenment we deserve.."?

End of rant.

Now you know why we don't protest doing business with China. Anyone notice that China hasn't changed one iota from their dictatorial policies of the past but you really never hear much about human rights any more. The reason is because we have billions invested in keeping China's populace under the thumb of a Communist government.

Unfortunately, capitalism always flourishes under the yoke of slavery. What is occurring is what has always occurred--grab the quick buck while you can because it's not going to last forever. As in the entire history of civilization, workers will eventually revolt as they see their hard labor paying them very little while the top echelon of their masters become wealthy beyond imagination.

The wheel will turn, it already is in India where cheap labor fifteen years ago or so isn't so cheap any more.
