I suspect they have the most to lose when the global economy fragments. They are probabaly heavily leveraged in the asian exchanges, or they own businesses and rely on asian slave labor to keep their margins up. (You know, all those "designed in the USA and made to our exacting standards in China" products? I won't buy them, either.) They aren't any different from the pro-illegal-immigrant posters we user to have around here. All of them owned construction or landscaping companies and couldn't compete in the saturated mid-2000s market without hiring illegal alien labor. As they say, follow the money.

That comment sums up the whole thread pretty well.
I have a “free traitor” friend who works for HP. He defends globalism tooth and nail and even quotes Thomas Friedman ad nauseum...
Well ya... If you work for an “American” manufacturer that is outsourcing (FOXCONN motherboards) their major sub-components, or even whole product, to China... then its OBVIOUSLY good for you.
