Re: IDS 11 - Press Releases

You might like to watch the series found here: http://www.thecorporation.com The chapters on Nike and IBM are I think my favorites. The IBM chapter shows IBM's founder sitting with Hitler, negotiating over dinner the contracts to supply the Nazis with the counting machines used at the Nazi death camps. This should put IBM in a whole different light for you. The Nike chapter shows how efficient Nike is at computing the cost of making clothing and of course shoes, exploiting people in developing countries. The film shows you how corporations have evolved in the US, and if a corporation were to undergo a personality profile you would find in most cases many if not all would qualify as psychopath. You'll find the video chapters available for free on Youtube. All the issues and arguments about outsourcing are just superficial. Under the skin lies one simple truth, it's all about greed.
