And the corporations are trying to prevent from folding. BTW, you do
realize that corporations are nothing more than individuals just like you.

And tell me exactly why it is their obligation to offer you, personally,
work?

Their collective greed? For doing the exact same thing you and I and
others do several times a day? Don't believe me.
Oh, your gas light is on. 2 gas stations, one selling gas at 2.25 a
gallon, the other 2.20 a gallon. Chances are you would be like many other
people and hit the 2.20 pump to save a whopping $.80 on the transaction (based
on an average 15 gallon tank). But don't you know your *GREED* is making it
hard for the owner of that station to "get by".

And that is somehow greed on their part? This started out as "my job was
exported" and now turned into a rant against the "overqualified" fallacy which
I agree with and isn't motivated by greed.

Envious much? It isn't a matter of need. How many toys the other guy has
versus how much you think they need is irrelevant. I mean, hey, how much
ELECTRICITY does one man need when there are people in other countries that
don't have it. If they obtained the toys legally who gives a rats butt how
much they have? That's not your concern and is, quite frankly, part of the
problem.
