Regarding job layoffs and downsizing in the USA . . .
Joe = Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN
JAPAN) for 6= am . . . While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking .
. . he shaved = with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a
dress shirt (MADE IN = SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE), and
tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking breakfast in his new
electric skillet (MADE IN = INDIA), He sat down with his calculator (MADE
IN MEXICO), to see how much he = could spend today. After setting his
watch (MADE IN TAIWAN), to the radio (= MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY), and continued his search = for a good paying AMERICAN
JOB !!!

At the end of yet another = discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to
relax for a while. He put on his = sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured
himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE), and= turned on his TV (MADE IN
INDONESIA), and wondered why he can't find a = good paying job ( in
AMERICA) !!!
