I am passing on a question that I was just asked about this post.

If Emerson will not hire any Americans (" I am not going to hire
anybody in the United States."), why should any American consumer or
business buy a product that contains Emerson content?

TMT

Easy. Emerson products will be made by people that work and should be
rewarded for working. You seem to have a very provincial mind.

I have a question for the TMT types. If Emerson moves production
outside the US, because the US Government seems to be opposed to
people who actually hire people and produce things, with what will
they buy products which have Emerson content? Government IOUs? Food
ration cards?
The US is headed towards (God willing) a short term as a "soft"
currency. Meaning that the US Dollar will not be a preferred currency
except locally, and then maybe not even then. (I'll give an example
of what having a "soft" currency means. Negotiating in the cashbah in
Tangiers, the guy would not go below six dinar. Till my friend pulled
out a US dollar bill - then going for four dinar at the exchange.
Ended the haggling, closed the deal, everybody got the better end.)
