Corporate outsourcing

I thought it would get to a point where it would no longer be necessary. Well looks like it won't ever do that. The recession is providing excellent cover for continued firings. I work for a large pharma company. We have outsourced and just plain eliminated over 20,000 jobs globally. And they're not done yet. Product development, testing, research and production have all gone overseas. Now they're talking about deeper cuts involving quality and regulatory. The short term consequences of this will involve increased risk in using medications. Mark my words. FDA will not be able to control or protect the drug supply unless it expands hugely.
