What Comes Around Goes Around

Long, long, long ago, I worked at AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) when the company first started exporting production to Asia. Us little workers, those of us who ran the machines that made the chips, or tested them, or packaged them up for shipping, us... well, WE were pretty upset. We knew this meant that there would be less jobs, that regular workers would be screwed over and that AMD was going to go from a company that proudly cared about things like keeping production in the USA and workers' rights, to yet another typical American business.

So, TPTB exported shipping to Asia. About this time, my father retired from AMD; he didn't like a lot of these changes. I stopped working there because I was going to Grad school in PA. And... everything we, the workers, predicted came true. Thanks Reagan! Thanks Clinton! Thanks Nixon! And everyone else!
