How am I pretending we are on the same side? I'm fully aware that you disagree with me, and I haven't stated otherwise. Perhaps you are just getting tired with me supporting my position? Well, I'm in my rights to, as are you. Nobody is forcing you to discuss things with me if you don't want to.
Of course corporations want to save money, so if they can employ cheap labour in another country, they are going to. They are creating jobs over there by doing so; many more than they might over here. If the consumer doesn't like this kind of behaviour, then they can organise a boycott, which might make them reconsider their position. I don't see many people doing this though, which either means enough people are fine with their behaviour, or people just aren't aware of what is going on.
I don't want people to starve in the streets, and I find it offensive that you would even suggest that I thought that.
There are plenty of jobs; some people just aren't qualified enough to take them. I get emails every few days from a graduate jobs board with vacancies. There are also plenty of startup companies looking for workers (I get emails from them as well).
