Sally, you have been so great with your posts on this subject!
Howlin, it's not that I've been all that great, it's just I was concerned about this deal and wasn't sure what I thought about it. Instead of going with my first inclination I decided to wait until more information came out. I also decided to do some research about how DPW operated because I thought this issue was important.
Y'know, we say muslim's need to be dragged into the 21st century and they need to quit operating with a 7th century mentality. Yet when they operate on the free market in the same manner as other western countries, they get shot down because they're mooooooslims. It sure shows up quite a number of FReepers as being hypocritical. These FReepers can't have it both ways.
I've read all this cr@p about how an American business ought to have bid and bought BPO but these same people haven't gotten around to thinking maybe no American company wanted the headache of dealing with the unions. None of them wanted to spend the capital to make the improvements to the facilities.
All I know to do is to shake my head in puzzlement over the shortsightedness of the anti's. Why didn't they do their own research? Why did they go with their emotions instead of seeing whether this might be a good business deal for the US in the long run?
