JF, thanks for the personal account. I'm seeing the beginning of that trend in the Korean communities across Southern California, but what effect that has on the soul of those communities, I cannot say.

Anyway, we digress, but I guess your point is that political power is being shifted toward corporations, which in turn are artificial entities which are only accountable toward the shareholders' desire to see profitability. Personally, I think that's similar to the shift in power from landowners to urban areas around the time of industrialization, but the main theme is the same. There will always be people who know how to work the system, and there will always be people who get screwed over undeservedly.

As for me, perhaps I've been fortunate for most of my life, but maybe that will change with the growth of outsourcing.
