Day 351 of 1000

I went to work today at a place in Charlotte.  A good chunk of the work they do will be outsourced to the Dominican Republic because the product they make is for use in the tobacco industry, so it gets taxed heavily here, but not in the DR.  It seems kind of crazy, but these taxes make their manufacture in the US uncompetitive.  A bunch of people here in the U.S. will lose their jobs specifically because of this tax.  It was pretty sad.
