At least, isn't that what most of you guys keep *saying* it is?
To wit: Don't you guys always jabber on about how the Shareholder and His Prophet, the CEO, are the Highest Authority, unlike God only in that probably more people believe in them than in him nowadays? At least that's what *I* get from DrooK and BeeP and Idunnowhoall, when sometimes I dare suggest that maybe American society has got the power structure tilted a bit too far in favour of the Holy Corporation... Well, "I say"(*): If Profit is the only Good, then More Profit is Better, and Maximum Profit is Best... So _of course_ exporting jobs is a Good Thing to do, if it increases Holy Profit!
And, hey, if it weren't done by Holy Corporation exporting jobs directly, then here's another scenario for how to do it: Godly Shareholder decides to Liquidate the Holy Corporation, take the money he releases, and re-invest it in an Even Holier New Corporation. Then, the Even Holier New Corporation buys the trademarks and Holy Intellectual Property of the old (not quite so Holy) Corporation, and employs its very own *first* set of *original* employees... In India. Not the same Holy Corporation, not the same jobs, so no "job export" at all -- just Holy Capital excercising its Sacred Right of Freedom of Movement.
But exactly the same result -- so why not simplify the process (and, perhaps not-so-incidentally, keep the CEO-Prophet in his cushy job)? What?!? Are you saying that in that case, you might actually want to consider -- in addition to restricting the Holy Corporation's Sacred Right to move its jobs whereverthefuck it wants -- to perhaps also restrict the Godly Shareholder's Sacred Right to move his Holy Capital whereverthefuck he wants?
In that case: Welcome to the European Collectivist Borg Hive Mind!
Good luck converting your fellow Americans to this view.
