US commercial executive manage...I agree completely. US commercial executive management has devolved to this single criterion--low cost, which leads to max profits for them. They care not a fig for the highly destructive effects on our world, and its inhabitants. Which is one part of the Occupy Movement's message. We can change the world . . . if we want to.

Its much worse than just making crap. Chi...Richard,<br />Its much worse than just making crap. Chinese companies make crap with abused labor (NYTimes, 1/25/2012: "In China Human Costs are Built Into an IPad"), often using stolen US intellectual property (a recent Congressional Report from the US International Trade commission estimates that: "US firms conducting business in China lost $48.2B [that's billion, with a b] in sales, royalties, and license fees in 2009 because of [intellectual property rights] violations in China.") while seriously polluting our (shared) environment (NYTImes, 8/26/2007: "Public Health [in China] is Reeling." We're the dummies; we buy their stolen, polluting crap made by abused workers and then congratulate ourselves on what a great deal we got! Madness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
