where do you think apple makes their computers?
random thoughts Send a noteboard - 05/11/2010 12:31:00 PM
Every computer company in country has shipped their manufacturing overseas but she is evil for doing the same thing? I am advocate for free trade as well as immigration reform.
But the way arguing that she shipped jobs overseas doesn't really make the argument that she bungled HP it just makes the argument that you don't like manufacturing jobs shipped overseas. Well become a republican then and help make the US more business friendly so companies want to do business here. You can't hate big business then feel jilted when big business goes somewhere they are not hated.
