		<description><![CDATA[So -- if you layoff 1000&#039;s, ship them to a country where they pay is so low they can&#039;t afford to buy the products IBM makes, then the infrastructure needed to support those 1000&#039;s (stores, gas stations, utilities, constrution, auto-makers, etc.,) lays of 1000&#039;s more, and they can&#039;t afford to buy IBM stuff, or those infrastructure items, then 1000&#039;s more lose their jobs. . . . then those China and India workers will just buy those IBM things, autos, American food, our utilities, our constrution workers, our  . . .  oh wait, I&#039;m dreaming!    We are Global, yes, but also think about who is going to buy your products, not China workers making $2 an hour or India workers making $8 an hour -- It&#039;s those making $35.  Sorry, IBM you lose and we lose.]]></description>
