Sorry Parish, sorry to hear that. You are going to see a lot more of that too. Companies will accelerate their foreign outsourcing with the new mandates and taxes that are coming.
every single thing that has been done the past few decades is leading to that. we are not buisness friendly or competitive in the world market place.
We produce very little now because a bunch of 1.50 an hour employees in the third world with no benefits etc. can produce it cheaper. We give buisness no incentive to stay here and produce. Many of the big multi-national companies have been moving their operations overseas where the cost and liabilities for doing buisness is greatly reduced.
In reality it is not their fault, a buisness is an entity where the entrprenuer creates something in order to make money and get ahead.
If you take away the ability to do so then they don't hire, they lay off, and eventually they either go somewhere where than can grow or they cease to exist. Next you end up with a nanny state cradle to death government controlled existence of mediocrity, it has been done many times inthe past century to utter failure and misery of their citizens.
That is why this country flourished, an experiment in small government where the people are free and able to dream and build and create.
We need to go back to that place
