Comment Ethics Schmethics (Score 1) 377
It's funny how many people I have heard, here and elsewhere, go on and on about distributing wealth! Spread the success! All workers of the world unite!
Funny things is, the world is not equal. Ethics are simply...different in many part of the world. In many countries (and yes I have specific cases, including a certain oil company and Italy...), bribes are more or less standard practice, and you will get nowhere without knowing which palms to grease for permits, licenses, etc.
I'm amazed that anybody is even surprised that this is happening.
There will come a time when U.S. companies wake up and realize that 90% of their intellectual property and 'superiority', trade secrets, proprietary information, and perhaps even personnel and medical data has been shipped overseas for the low, low prices of $3.50 a day.
