When will the lights go on? It can't happen soon enough. ----------------------- Intel’s Andy Grove figures it out – sort of – on employment and manufacturing snip... I disagree. Not only did we lose an untold number of jobs, we broke the chain of experience that is so important in technological evolution. As happened with batteries, abandoning today’s “commodity” manufacturing can lock you out of tomorrow’s emerging industry. www.tradereform.org/2010/07/intels-andy-grove-figures-it-out-on-employment-and-manufacturing/

That's exactly what the pro-slavery people said in the 1800's, "Let the negros do the manual labor, so the finer manufactures can be reserved for whites."

Too little too late.
Grove was and is a major promoter of off-shoring and sweat shop labor during the last 20+ years, but so is every other Silicon Valley CEO from Lattice Semi to AMD. All those SOB's love setting up factories in nations where there are no labor or environmental laws and have death squads at their disposal to keep the workers in line.
Too bad the Feds weren't able to put him in jail for stealing critical IP from DEC back in the 90's and putting it in Intel's line of X86 processors.
The man is total scum.

Don't forget Carly Fiorina.

Well if we're going that road and looking for villains:
Don't forget Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congressional pukes who passed legislation that put this country where it is today. You know stuff like: NAFTA, killing Glass-Stegall, keeping derivatives unregulated, giving most favor nation status to China even though it is a Communist dictatorship that uses slave and child labor. Destroying lives of millions of American blue collars, etc.
They make Grove and Fiorina look like small fries. I mean these two idiots just out sourced their companies. While Clinton and friends instituted national level policies that destroyed our industrial and tech sectors.
Oh yeah then there's Obama's economic staff is almost identical to Bill's - full of globalists and free traders. So we can include the God-like Obama as well.
Remember he's the guy who shafted Maytag's last group of American workers for a bribe from the company.
But hey he's a Democrat so that makes f**king over Americans ok.
