I think you named the root problem quite well... Helene Send a noteboard - 25/09/2012 01:12:55 PM
First, I try to get to the root of the problem. The main point that people gripe about is that there are so many jobs outsourced to foreign countries. What's the root cause of this? Companies exist for one reason: to make money.


Companies shouldn't exist solely to make money. Companies should exist to provide services and goods that are needed within the community. This reductionist attitude, that it's all only about money, is one of the root causes of the problem.
