how is this any different from companies say US hospitals going to the Philippines in recruiting nurses? This has become thr standard here now. It displaces people who are highly trained but deemed too costly for the quarterly report.
I don't care if the precious all powerful corps feel so 'put upon' by having to live with the market environment they created. It's about time the pendulum started moving back toward the consumer. We must own the things we buy. It id also NOT the responsibility of said consumer to know s grey market item from a hole-in-the-ground. The corps can't continue to control everything in our daily lives. That id a very deadly end.
