Didn't you have a VERY strong opinion on US car companies getting their engineering done overseas only in the last couple of weeks ?
Within the same global company ?
As you say, it's their obligation to minimise costs...
Yes, I do despise all US companies outsource jobs to foreign countries to maximize their profits. I am against GM outsourcing engineering jobs to South Korea, to China ... them import vehicles back into US. GM has manufacturing plants in China or other countries to produce vehicles for local market is one thing, but having manufacturing plants oversea then import vehicles from those plants back into US is unacceptable to me.
As an American I like to see products designed/manufactured in America and export to oversea, I like to see American companies have their offices/plants here in America employing American. If you don't like it, too bad !
But this Apple and Ireland tax situation is totally different with outsourcing jobs.
