Kerry's Heinz 57 problem

[CADsortaGUY]

"Benedict Arnold CEOs send American jobs overseas."

<snip>
Unfortunately, Dobbs and xenophobic politicians are out to kill the goose that lays our golden eggs. Sen. John Kerry, in his stump speech inveighs against the "Benedict Arnold CEOs [who] send American jobs overseas."

By the way, the Kerry family business, H.J. Heinz Co. of Pittsburgh, operates 22 factories in the United States and 57 in foreign countries. I don't think that Kerry should shut down The Heinz 57, but he might drop the rhetoric and talk about trade responsibly. He should support, not trade's contraction, but its expansion, like George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and every president since Herbert Hoover.

But, it's the Heinz business. Both Kerry and I wish it was ours.

no kidding, i'd imagine he would move it all back stateside just to prove a point if it was his to do with what he liked.

This is yet another misleading tactic of mis-information.
Heinz is a publicly traded company with many brands on 6 continents.
I'll bet this gets debunked in a day or two.
Remember the adage, "You can't unring a bell."

Ofcourse I didn't expect people to actually read the article then comment on it, and I wasn't disappointed.

Nothing changes like change. Today a million jobs are lost and recreated. Soon two million and then three. The amount of time you will be retraining will soon reach every minute of your life. Genetic engineers will set about to modify the race, cloning children and creting new ones with vast memory and adaptive skills with IQs in the thousands. Maybe then there will be sufficinet intelligence around when Charlie Chaplin throws his monkey wrench for people to say, f8ck this, where's the love.

The world we are creating is an empty rat race designed to satisfy the illness we carry with the greatest rewards to the most ill.

The rat does not run his cage without visions driven by need. Now, said the Devil, if I can only create a need that is an illusion.

There once was a prosperous and growing kingdom of mites that lived in a cheese. They grew and prospered and would have continued to do so, but alas, one day the cheese collapsed.

No actually it didn't collapse, I was hungry enough that the mites didn't ruin the flavor of the cheese.
