The corporate bottom line

GREED - corporations value the bottom line - read that again - corporations value the bottom line!

Note that people, persons, humans, pets, children or any words that refer to LIVE beings are NOT valued by corporations - well unless you are the CEO - then you value YOU and your Boards.

Hence the outsourcing of manufacturing to countries that pay low wages. and the business in those countries have learned also to value the bottom line so they cut corners, use poor quality materials - so that those companies make money too [for the owners.]

Who pays? The low wage workers who get sick and the consumers around the world who buy products that can kill them or damage them.. like plastic in dog food, deadly fish sold as edible, lead in toys, etc., etc.

We need to revamp our corporation laws and we need to stop all this outsourcing...until we do - this deadly GREED will continue to harm ourselves, our children and our pets.
