Corporation will get what they deserve

Corporations are going to get burned by this trend of off shoring. People are already seeing that today they can get things cheaper and better quality by buying locally produced products. Beef is a good example. I can go buy beef for a fraction at the grocery store the price from the local farmer. Having beef shipped out of the country for processing by low wage workers from Mexico hasn't give the consumer any benifit and if anything puts them more at risk of ecoli poisoning.

There a local appolstry shop that sells funiture here where I live that sells higher quality re-appolstered funiture from the 50s than what the big funiture corporation can give.

You can pay for Microsoft support for $400 per hour call or you can pay $380 for 4 hours work from local consultants.

I know street with a mechanic, wheel alignment and autobody shop where they work together to take older used vehicles and bring them up to brand new status for approximately $10,000 as opposed to paying $36,000 for a new vehicle from the dealerships.

This to me is the start of trend. People are regecting the low cost low quality products imported from overseas. People are fed up. Low prices for junk is just wasting you money. In the end as communities come back together the corporation will be standing there overseas wondering why they have few or no customers left. It may take 20 years but that's where they are headed as they only 3-5 year into the future.

What goes around come around....
