Truly sorry to hear it. Of course Maytag management thinks they'll punch up profits on the machines they sell. But since so many other manufacturers are also moving jobs overseas... in the end, people may not be able to buy new washing machines nearly as often as they used to. So what happens to those new profits?
Honestly, I don't think any particular job is sacred; but why not at least automate them out of existence and keep the factories in the U.S? And get the gov't to sponsor retraining. That's how you really grow an economy. But individual businesses just care about their balance sheets, go for the cheapest near-term costs and fight tax increases like wild boars.
