Second Thoughts on Free Trade
Roshan,
with more and more jobs going to India, we will buy nothing anymore,
cause we have no jobs and no money and then? Hope soon the jobs for
politicians and CxO's (CEO, CFO, CIO, CIA ;-)) are transfered too. Too
many are overpaid and underskilled in those jobs here. At least yours
are cheaper but not better.
