It isn't the company's fault that these jobs are being sent to lower labor cost countries, it's the fault of consumers. Why consumers have the audacity to demand lower prices, more variety, selection and convenience in the products they buy. If they would just be content with whatever their local Mom & Pop stores could deliver at a fair price we wouldn't have all these businesses close.

Take those confounded cell phones--everyone is manufactured by foreign companies. What was wrong with good old Ma Bell and those reliable dial phones and real live operators to help us. Now all those people that used to work for the telephone company with good paying jobs are out of work, while we use those danged cell phones made by foreign companies. There ought to be a law.

Not only that, but those phones had cords. You didn't have to worry about losing anything because the handset was connected to the base and the base was connected to the wall. If the phone rang you always knew where to find it. Now, when my phone rings I have to look all over for it.

It's those furreners ruining everything, that's what it is. Close the borders, buy American, and put cords on your phones!

Shalom.
