Can't we do something about this?

Last time I checked Dell could spend it's manufacturing budget as determined by Dell's board of directors to be best for Dell's sharholders. I guess you could boycott Dell, but I happen to like inexpensive computers.

I hope you also like paying taxes to provide the pensions and healthcare for Dell's formerly employed US workers - because when they go to work in lower paid service industries, its government that will make up the difference for what they can no longer afford to purchase for themselves regarding retirement and medical.

I guess you could make a case for this but only if you ignore the total cost of shipping jobs out of the country. Pay me now or pay me (via taxes) later.

I have seen many companies go down the tubes because they focused on price and not costs. They are very different things.
