Call me crazy, but I think when business says high production costs are the reason for outsourcing, their pricing should reflect savings to the consumer and not just to them. Without consumers, their products aren't worth anything, anyway.

Higher profits to shareholders is also a good thing.

You're crazy.

Basic economics - the price of good does not some from what it costs to produce it, it comes from what people will pay for it. This is why many goods, particularly when a company is starting up, are sold at a loss - as what people will pay for something may not be accurately known to begin with.
