I was pondering last night at the "Hummer." What a nice set (H1, H2) of vehicles. I wasn't pondering the style of the vehicle but the cost, over $50K, and how America is the one of few countries (the only?) that has a large population with the means to acquire many of such an object.

I then asked myself what other country does the following but America? Our military comes up with a need for a new "All terain, All weather" attack / support vehicle. So, one of the major American corporations solves the need but then turns around a creates a "civilian" version that sells like hotcakes for buku bucks.

What is peculiar is not that a "military" vehicle is in civilian hands but that many people in our country actually have the means to support such an extravagant style. This is not the case in 95% of the world.

I ask, what does a person in a "low cost" sourcing countries buy with less than $5 a day in pay? Not a HUMMER!

At a fundamental, strategic level I believe it is better for a company to pay "higher" wages to the workforce, at home in our case, that will inturn support the very corporation it works for by buying large $ items than it is to "totaly" outsource to make a balance sheet "look" better.

This is just a scratch on the surface of a big subject.
