Thanks to hilljack33,
Click Here for a comprehensive list of the major U.S. company's that are responsible for the majority of outsourcing jobs that American's could be doing, but it is less expensive for them to have a 'slave' in a 3rd world country do it, due to no minimum wage laws. The list is so long that sadly, it cannot fit here on this blog. But please take a look at it, and read on...
Unfortunately, I understand the 'catch 22' of this post, because capitalism in its purest form is having a company do whatever it takes to make money, to basically be as competitive as possible. And if this is one of your first visits to T.A.S., we firmly support Capitalism. And outsourcing say, a customer service job makes a company more competitive than another company that does not outsource that same customer service job.
But we must ask ourselves, at what point, and cost to ourselves, are we willing to support these company's that will sell their mothers souls to make an extra dollar for their shareholders?
Please review this list, and I believe that what it boils down to, is that while it's impossible to 'avoid' these company's, just buy LOCAL. What I mean by local is to purchase what you can from the few 'Ma N' Pa' stores that are left in your town (if there are any).
It may cost you a bit more to buy LOCAL, but it needs to start somewhere, and it starts with YOU!!! It's YOU who has the power.
Thanks, I have been looking for a list like this for awhile!
ReplyDeleteKind of ironic when companies like Bank of America and American Express make the list!
Thanks for the comment. I was looking for a long time as well, and then one of my readers found it. The list contains so many company's that it would be hard to live life on-grid and not support at least one of these company's. It's very sad, but it is Capitalism at its purist. Thanks again, and keep checking back, because we update as much as we can!
