A bunch of small American firms are already (and have been) running operations all along, even under the P&O umbrella.

That's what I've been wondering about since the beginning of this debate. What's the reason? U.S. taxes and regulations too prohibitive? Something else?

Labor costs? Out-the-wazzoo regulations? Razor-thin profit margins?
