    I'm waiting for the first company to make the claim "We're an American company using all American workers and keeping our money and jobs in America."
    Bet they'd clean up. They'd get my business and a hell of a lot of others like me.

    In the interim, I just patronize smaller businesses that are all-American (local credit union instead of giant bank, drive a Ford with 90% domestic content, etc).

    Habeeb: Yes Gupta, what is it now?

    Gupta: This new dress code is not making me very happy.

    Habeeb: What is it that isn't making you not very happy in the new dress code, Gupta?

    Gupta: Oh Habeeb, I now have to wear a blue turban instead of a white one.

    Habeeb: Oh good gracious Gupta, what are we going to do?
