Uh Carly, is your company planning to stop selling its products in the US and sell exclusively to residents of India and China? People receiving unemployment insurance generally can't afford to buy new printers and hardware.
These companies who are outsourcing their labor force to these third-world ****holes should be required to move their operations to said third-world ****holes and market/sell their products there.
Sounds like the Board of HP could find someone else to run the shop for a whole lot less money than they're paying Carly...
I've been saying that for years - especially on the broadband policy. Our long-term national interests have been harmed by clinging to 100-year-old communications technology.
