the usual crowd will be along to tell you this guy was overpaid for what he did, was not competitive, is working in a "buggy whip" industry, etc.

That snickering sound is the carpet baggers on their way to the bank...

I think these folks should learn a few things from Henry Ford who in essence created the "consumer economy", i.e. you've got to pay your workers enough to buy your product. Otherwise, perhaps they should outsource their own jobs to India or China. I'm sure their CEOs and top executives get paid a lot less then what the ones here get.

"At least 1,300 Colorado Springs workers and hundreds of thousands of others nationwide lost jobs in recent years as U.S. technology companies increasingly shifted work to India, China and other nations to take advantage of cheap labor and low taxes".

I don't want to be hard hearted here but where were the tears when this started happening with manufacturing jobs starting some time in the 70s?
It was a popular sentiment that the unions with their high wage demands were the cause then. As far as I can tell the jobs that are fleeing now are not generally union jobs. Who oh who can we blame now? Bash away!

Greenville, Pennsylvania lost tech and many other jobs as major local manufacturers moveed their production out of the country. Stores closing up. Standard of living falling.

Some enterprising person could make a bunch of money importing and selling those little ice cream carts that you push around to sell ice cream. Would give a lot of people in Greenville a chance to earn a living by buying one of those ice cream carts and pushing it around the neighborhood selling ice cream.
