Rather than assume posts like this are Hate America threads, maybe you should propose some real solutions.
I know that this happens in other countries too. That doesn't make it right. The market seems to be adjusting in response to this incident. It is investors and consumers that will pay for this type of activity.
When every thread that appears here has a "negative reflection" of America without specifying that America "is not alone in this," well, then, yes it certainly appears to be a "hate America" thread. It's that "If it quacks like a duck........."thingy.
How do we deal with any/all of these? It starts with the citizens of the US (or any other country) actually becoming involved in the Political Process in a KNOWLEDGABLE way............and electing Congressional representatives who will actually do something to fix the problems.
Corporations are in business to profit. Not to break even or end up in the red. Just as any other Business in the US or any other country is. People do not invest their money, time, and lives into opening/operating a business to lose money.

Is there no end to what the American Corporations will do to provide us with a cheaper product?
The odd thing is, you are dissing American Corporations for doing what they can to decrease their operational expense in order to maximize their profits AND PROVIDE more AFFORDABLE products to the citizens. Clearly, the American consumer is benefiting from the actions of the Corporation, are they not?

Maybe yes, maybe not. Not speaking of ONE SPECIFIC instance, but IN GENERAL, when a Corporation generates more profit, the Investors "benefit" from the increase in profits. As well, if the Corporation manages to supply consumers with a more affordable product, then the consumers benefit as well.
If the Corporations fail to do either of these, then someone will suffer.......that is a given.
