   It's not good for the company.  However, it's good for the employee to   
   realize their employer sucks, and quit when they have the chance to change   
   jobs.  The long term employees at such a company either got promoted to   
   the point that the company stoped sucking, or lack the job skills to get a   
   different job.

   I understood your "point", I just rejected it.  The cost of labor in the   
   USA is high enough, that only "big ticket" items are economically viable   
   to create in the USA.  That's the natural result of "first world" vrs   
   "third world" realities of a global economy.   
      
   Do you think Glad has their trash bag production plant in the USA?   
   Probably not, because the cost of labor is many times the cost of the   
   production materials.  However, keep in mind that the trash bags I   
   purchase at Albertsons are made by the same workers as those I buy at   
   Wal-Mart.

   Not changing the subject, just pointing out that your earth shattering   
   "points" were as much crap as that $20.00 Wal-Mart digital camera.   
      
   Better yet, when you get to college, try taking a macroeconomics class.
