That's the beauty of Capitalism.  All that matters is that the rich get
richer.

Second Thoughts on Free Trade


James,

and the reason is so "unique"
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Worried about possible government reaction to the
movement of U.S. technology jobs overseas, leading American computer
companies are defending recent shifts in employment to Asia and elsewhere
as necessary for future profits and warning policy makers against
restrictions.

future profits. What its all about.
When I have to sell my shares of these companies to have some money, then
they know where to stick the "future profits".
And as I said, cut the future profits of the CxO's and they have lots of
future profits.

Won't solve that problem but seems like this problem might be solved.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) --
A publicity-shy Russian researcher who labors in near-seclusion may have
solved one of mathematics' oldest and most abstruse problems, the Poincare
Conjecture.
