Zorts Lives: Where did the jobs go?

http://zortslives.blogspot.com/2012/01/where-did-jobs-go.html

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Where did the jobs go? Today's New York Times has a long article ( How U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work. That offers a discouraging picture for job growth in the U.S. The problem isn't labor costs per se; rather, it's that the entire manufacturing supply chain has shifted from the U.S. to Asia. - a change initially caused by labor costs, but now self-perpetuating. The glass used in the iPhone's display provides a great example, As Corning's CFO observed:. But besides the supply chai...

Saturday, July 28, 2012. My love-hate relationship with Amazon. This morning I read in the Times that Jeff Bezos has pledged $2.5M in support of same-sex marriage in Washington State. I wanted to let Amazon know that I'm happy about this support by its CEO, so I clicked on over to amazon.com to find their "contact us" link. Unless I'm just hopelessly blind this morning, Amazon doesn't seem to have a mechanism for receiving general feedback. The DRM periodically drives me crazy. Subscriptions are espe...
