Terrifying thought isn't it.

Not even upper management jobs and execuative jobs will be safe.

I think this is what is called a trickle up policy (off shoring or out sourcing wise) as more execuative jobs get shifted to the countries in which the work is actually done (to better integrate with the culture and workflow don't ya know). So that leaves who left in the incorporated company? The board, The CEx's and who else?

Perhaps the Boards will start shopping for the most cost efficeient CEO and CFO. I am shure in a world of 7 billion people there are many that can do a much better job for a lower cost. Thier shareholders may welcome that.

Tis an interesting question.

What happened to the river. What water managment policies have been enacted up and down stream from his property. Any towns down stream that have constrained the river. Any flood defences or dredgeing?

I know that in many places in the UK. River works to dredge, straighten and improve flood defeneces in towns have exacerbated flooding problems elseware.

In an inadvertant way they do.

However they still have the potential to cause similar problems (rust) as reinforcement bars can. That depends on what kind of steel was used and many other things. They do not seem to be a problem at the moment though. The builders also seemed to get lucky as the agregate they used does not react with alkaline moisture which could make it brittle.
