Forum Post: how to save jobs-anywhere

If you are a stock holder in a company demand that no bonuses to executives be tied to head count reductions as a cost savings strategy. This happens far too often in the corporate world. Also, as a stock holder, demand that if the CEO approves off-shoring he should go off shore as well. Adjust the CEOs pay to be about 1/4th of what it is in the US and the CEO could still live like a king, except in another country. I do believe CEOs need to be reminded that in today's technological age their work can be done overseas as well.

BANNED FROM FACEBOOK!!! Im having a problem logging onto Facebook. Seems odd that Facebook was used as a crucial tool in the middle east to organize people to stand up for their rights and overthrow their

dictators. Funny how now that protestors are gathering at Wall Street and around the world to demand Justice for plummitting the world economy into chaos that many people are having

trouble logging on to facebook...this same senario happened in Iran when people starting organizing against their government. Seems to me that Facebook has been taken over by the.01% to

prevent the 99% from organizing. The 99% must organize before Occupy Wall street becomes a faded memory... organize your groups around the world...elect leaders to stand together

world wide. DO NOT GIVE IN!!!... DO NOT GIVE UP!! It is time to take our countries back from the greedy and corrupt. For those of you who still have access to Facebook it is your

duty to spread the word.

Please post this on your facebook profile and forward this email.

OWS compared to the Tea Party

Christine O'Donnell was nominated in Delaware to be the Tea Party Republican candidate for the United States Senate. OWS adamantly refuses to endorse much less nominate any candidate to run for election. The OWS believes that they can choose demands that will be enacted by merely sitting in the park holding signs and having petitions signed.

The Tea Party demands to get government out of the lives of all except for sexual behavior. Christine O'Donnell claimed she was against masturbation. Does Christine actually know what masturbation is and has Christine ever masturbated? Christine went right down the line about gay marriage and abortion. Now that Christine has been video taped and has written a book the OWS would be wise to consider making her the poster child for the right wing nuts.

Instead of using Christine O"Donnell as the poster child for Republicans, the OWS prefers to claim that they are the 99% which mathematically includes the 35% of American Republicans who gave a knee jerk reaction applause to Rick Perry when bragged that as Governor of Texas he leads the nation http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/number-executions-state-and-region-1976 by far. Perry was proud that he executed 234 and that Perry believes that to be thoughtful.

With Obama on record for being a liar on every campaign promise, and being wrong on every decision he has made in office, the OWS fails to see any opportunity to nominate any candidate for election. During my experience with hundreds of OWS people in person in the park and on the OWS forum they are as uniformly ridiculous and naive as the Tea Party. With all of this clearly on the record, the only conclusion possible is that America is doomed. read more http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/

I own a few stocks Rob. I am concerned about the issues you bring up. How do you suggest I do this in a manner that would be effective? I own maybe 0.00001 percent (probably an overestimation) of the stock they have issued. Tell me how to get them to respect my concerns and change their practices that devalue my investment.

Sell your stock because the entire economy will collapse for sure.

End globalization is the only remedy. Prevent all slave made products to be imported.

...or we could just wait a while until the U.S. becomes just another third world country where we offer competitive, cheap labor vs. other third world countries? Is this the master plan of big business?

Yeah, that's what I believed too when I was a CAD Designer for the automotive industry. But with the advancement in the web world wide, my career was outsourced to India. Don't get me wrong, we have upper advantages in technology but technology (computers) were simply invented to make the job easier. Now it's become so easy that it can be outsourced for cheaper costs.
