Long term. Chinese government businesses open with the same plans, designs, etc., all with cheaper labor (slave?) from the provinces (HTC?). NYSE stock prices go down. Next CEO loses their job.

Short term. We care because our 401Ks depend on investment. We are as greedy/needy as the executives.
Long term. You want 薯条 with that?

Fucking clowns.

Precisely. And do you know what the prevailing attitude is on the part of U.S. companies? 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' This article about GE is only 4 days old:

It's ridiculous. Whatever happened to American ingenuity in capitalism? Are we even trying anymore? :?

Hey, I didn't draw this. I just thought the stereotypes were funny. :lol:

... and you forgot Alanis Morissette.

I have another question that maybe the dumbass Europeans here can answer for me.

Does Europe have a higher tax on the rich than the US has? Does Europe have stricter regulations on corporations than the US has? Then why is Europe failing economically when they are already doing what these protesters want done here in the US?
And on the other hand if Europe doesn't have a higher tax for the rich and stricter regulations of corporations then why is the US the evil ones?
