It's interesting that US companies are going off-shore to boost profit,
Exporting jobs overseas and the government does nothing about it. When
it comes
To Americans, especially seniors buying their drugs from Canada, the FDA
does
Everything in its power to stop it. The FDA is so pro-business, it makes
sure
The pharmaceutical companies make big profit. Buy drugs from Canada is
1/3 of=20
The cost buying the same drug in the USA.

Like Robert, I have usually been a free-market person. And Patrick's
comments on helping others get started sound good. Patrick also makes
the good point of exporting jobs to the extend of loosing that skill in
the home country, no matter whether the home country is US, France, or
other. So, what's the right thing to do? I fully support collaboration
where both parties grow and learn together. But I have a problem with
being asked to train my replacement in a developing country. As far as
I can tell, my only defense is to keep learning and stay on the bleeding
edge. What other options do I have?
