Couldn't or wouldn't? There is a difference. Not that it really matters, gone is gone. However, consider the foreign companies that are coming here and running, in many instances, the same plants and/or with the same workforce and succeeding. I work in such a place.

What, would you say, is that all about?

I have my theories.
