Well, once again I had that radio station on and once again it set my blood to boiling. One of the more famous commentators was opining about the reasons for that major maker of computers and tablets and phones doing most of their manufacturing in China.  He claims to have read the article in the NY Times, that detailed the entire story and claims that nowhere in that story did they explain why the jobs are in China.  Well, if he had actually read the story, he would have read that the real problem isn't the ability of American workers, it is the access to raw materials, the quick changeover time for a new process or product, and the "willingness" of workers to live in company owned dormitories ready to work twelve hour shifts, six days a week.  Sure, the patent for the glass screens is held by a company in New York state, but the lax environmental and labor laws in other countries makes it cheaper to manufacture overseas.  Plus, when they want to bring all the pieces together, each factory is just down the road from another and so on.  If that famous commentator wants to have American workers continue their rush to the bottom, then let him have his political cronies make that case.  There was also another discussion on the local public radio station regarding super pacs and the pervasive influence they are having on elections.  The senatorial candidates in MA have an agreement that says if a pac runs an ad that is rife with falsehoods, the candidate whom the ad was intended to help, must give $900,000 to charity.  Or, as another option, the local media can refuse to run the ad.  So far, no station has implemented that form of economic suicide.  Surprise!.  All in all, it is still about the money.  Since that computer company stock just continues to rise, I am betting that savvy investors are buying it.  So much for American jobs.  As for the media outlets, maybe it is time that the politicians remind the stations that these are the "Public" airwaves on license from the government.  If the stations don't like it, they can give back those valuable licenses.  Not likely to happen anytime soon.  Thanks for reading.
