Except of course for the terrible impact that all these companies
transferring millions of units of home currency overseas has, oh yeah and
the people who are now unemployed in the home country that can no longer

short sighted thing I've ever seen.

I am surprised that governments aren't trying to do something to prevent it.

It is somewhat difficult to see what they could do though.
