Jim,

A few weeks ago I saw a TV show where this kind of problem (jobs moving to outside the US - seeking for low cost employees - mainly to Mexico and far east) was targeted by Michael Moore (please see Downsize This!). I don't know what folks in the north emisphere think about him, but what I saw touched me. This very same problem was addressed in the last week's issue of the VEJA magazine in Brazil (they're talking about what's going on Japan!).

It seems to be a problem that is spreading very fast in the rich economies.

I wonder what will happen when those big corporations will have not enough customers to buy their products made elsewhere by poor employees, to justify their existence.

Regards,

Fernando
