      There’s nothing wrong with leaving thousands jobless? Pulling out of an area and community that’s contributed so much to your success? Moving more and more operations to a country that practices genocide?

      I think we have very different views on morality.

        The net number of jobs does not change. They are not eliminating jobs, they are moving them. The same number of people are employed.

          That’s not necessarily true at all. Companies downsize virtually all the time when they move.

          And it’s not even what I said anyway, you’re putting words in my mouth. I said leaving thousands jobless. Do you understand?

          And just glossing over the genocide part, eh? I’ll ask you directly: is genocide bad, good, or neither?

            It also creates new jobs for thousands of other people. Why do you hate those people?

                You are just a racist. It offends you that people in the developing world are getting jobs.

                  Ah yes. Being against companies fucking over their workers is racist. 🙄

                  What an absolute clown take.

                    If the total number of employed people doesn’t change, what is your problem? They are not eliminating jobs, they are relocating them.
