Perhaps thats why blue collar unemployment has been such a issue in the west.
Until the movement away from the east gets enough voices jobs will forever be at risk in the west who can't compete with the poor pay and conditions those in the east are forced to slave under.
I don't think the comments are lame at all and applaud efforts to highlight this issue.
