The company, which has 1.1 million workers and is a major supplier for Apple, Microsoft and other electronics behemoths, says it has resolved the issues, and most of the workers are back to work. 45 of those involved ... [ read the full article ]

The writing was on the wall in the early 90's when we pulled our military out of Subic Bay / Angeles City area per their request, we were told to leave actually. The older folks there who fought with our military against the Japanese loved us but the young people of today side on the other side of that relationship. I lived over there for several years throughout Luzon, mostly Makati, Manila so I have a pretty good appreciation for that situation. Russ may have been in the Philippines? as well when he was in the military.
At any rate I really don't know why we would even argue commonwealth in this thread.
LOL ... Just explaining to LordRuss what commonwealth is and Im just saying Philippines is still an asset for cheap labor instead of the chinese. Do you know Spratly Islands conflict is still brewing out there? chinese is flexing their muscles in the china sea and we should too. As I said before china is the TRUE enemy and we here in the US is supporting their military by buying chinese goods.

Actually that all started when we helped Mao Tse-Tung and started to push China into the industrial age. Also Clinton helped the military directly for campaign funding purposes with missile and satellite technology and provided many super computers for their programs. China is smart because they are now following our old model and we are dumb because now we are changing to be more like the EU, exactly what we fled from so many years ago, people don't learn their lessons as a rule and repeat their mistakes, history dictates that.
I think we are our biggest enemy China is just one of many benefactors from that. That would be my very brief outlook of our situation which is way more complicated than stated.
Generally I think this is the basic sediment of a few here with my own slant on it.

Listen to yourself, what the hell is commonwealth? Is there such thing as common wealth?
I'm not starting a fight here, so don't take the tenor of this comment as such, but your comment smacks of the similar games you speak of as well. Do you not write from a similarly produced technology? I mean your phone or computer didn't grow from a tech-bush just outside your front door, so the 'system' is what "I" primarily hold responsible for having gotten us into the situation that we are in.
Back when I could buy products produced from a respective country, I could boycott whatever atrocity they were doing that pissed me off. Now that everything is overseas, that can't happen. Case in point; now that my nuts get caught in the zipper more often than they used to & I where underwear more often, so I buy my drawers from a local retailer. It just so happens that the only retailer that sells underwear cheap enough because I'm on a fixed income is also raping overseas countries.
I hate the "system", I hate what's its done to my country/social attitude & I didn't spend 6 years of my life to ruin my health defending Americans to become assholes & ship their jobs off to foreign lands. I'll bet other folks feel the same about their respective countries as well, yet here we all sit.
You can complain of the situation & glad handle people about the "talk", but like I've told my soldiers in the past, "What's your solution!?!" Nobody of any account likes the ones I have.
On the contrary, I think we're on the same page... I just didn't think the "system" is at fault because I still think there's something good in it, but you're right, it's the "system" corrupts the people's values.
On the angle of boycotting, you're also right, it's nearly impossible to make a statement "buy US made" now a day :-( The US government penalizes me for saving money, the interest from my saving account is being heavily taxed, I don't get that! I don't want to spend all of my money, I don't want to live on credits! The US economy feeds on consumer spending, sigh...
I chuckled at your bold comment, it's the sad truth (lol at the balls and zipper).
Peace!

Not offense to the EU countries, but I totally agree with Mr Movies on the bold part. There are many enemies, the bottom line is, you can't just ignore the benefits from sleeping with them and crying foul when it's your turn to get screwed. It's part of the package you signed up for. If you don't want to worry about diseases or morning pills, pull out immediately :D I just don't understand why bother complaining when the seeds were planted. Just man up and solve the problems rather than crying like little girls. If the seeds were planted, eradicate the abominations, it's never too late. Weeds can get you high, but they cloud your judgements.
Unfortunately I have a long way to go before my retirement, so I'm going to get a lot more screwing from all fronts (Chinese, Mexicans, Uncle Sam...). As to "commonwealth," I never like that term, it's pretty much something the rich folks came up with so that they can take stuff from the poor folks "lawfully."
Peace!
