      Great! Now European countries can join hands with us, working untold hours, sacrificing personal health and family, eschewing responsibility for everything but the CORPORATION!!! A life of perpetual servitude with diminished expectation of a reasonable retirement at an age where you're not hooked up to life support.

      Way to go!! I hope you all enjoy what you get and don't forget to ditch that family valued, society minded liberal that you all seem to hate so much.

      Next plan.... you won't be able to move fluidly between jobs because you will be locked down with that overpriced home you own. And the corporation won't pay for relocation. Successive losses on real estate is soon coming your way. I guess they will install beds underneath the desk in your cubical so you won't need to have a home at all.
