Thanks Dennis - that's actually a very good point (in my opinion). Not to
continue on with the "debate" but I think that some would respond to your
assertion by asking why it has to be existing jobs that are moved instead of
simply creating new jobs. Obviously though there's only a limited number of
jobs that the overall world economy needs so I guess at some point there
would need to be a redistribution of the work.
I don't want to get involved in some advanced economics discussion because
I'm even less qualified to pretend to speak intelligently on that subject
than I am on the others that have been raised in this thread.
Let's just leave it at my "thanks" and I can add your comment to all the
others that have given me a lot to think about in the last couple of days.
G.
