Well, no, actually. I'm retired.

Companies have the duty to stay competitive but they also have the duty to be loyal to their own country.

Well, no, actually, it isn't. In any sense at all. It's called doing what is necessary to help to ensure that your business stays in business.
The Bottom Line doesn't Trump patriotism
You are obviously a Trump fan. Here's the deal. If it was Trump's outfit doing the layoff, he would defend it to the death, as he should. And you would probably defend him. And I would defend both of you.
