I'm sorry but that's fanciful nonsense. Taking the motor industry as an example, outside sourcing may contribute say 3-5 jobs for every single one in the car factory but that's a very mature industry. You simply can't make these analogies with small start ups. Graham

What do you mean by 'private' in that case. They're not state-owned are they ? Graham

It seems as ever that you simply want to deny modern knowledge. You're probably actually killing yourself by *NOT* getting a jab. But then presumably that'll make you happy too because you'll be able to say some perverse kind of " I told you so" ! Your behaviour reminds me of that phrase "cutting your face to spite your nose ". Or is it the other way round ? I think it is. I always end up mixing my metaphors ! Graham |
