In reality, I'm not moving out of the US just yet, but we are moving into a
more efficient building in another city. We are planning for electricity
and natural gas to triple within three years and labor costs will skyrocket
with mandatory COLAs, union demands and healthcare. More automation, less
people. Almost the same effect as if I moved to Indonesia...less and less
employees! I hear the same talk from other business owners. So much for
job creation! The number of jobs I have and will eliminate will be
multiplied by hundreds of thousands.


About 14 months ago we recieved an automated cell that wiped out 5 jobs. If the numbers
make sense, machines in, people out. As long as the equipment isn't self repairing, I'll
be fine.
