We can deal with outsourced jobs, buying $0.99 flip-flops from Walmart that were made in China and shipped across the ocean to us, but when it comes to poisons in our medicine, will we finally draw the line?
I'm not so sure any of it will matter anyway, in several years when the only jobs we have are walking around pouring coffee for each other.
