Well going a bit off topic, a story a manager of a local manufacturing company told me. They had built a new factory on another side of the country, state of the art, huge. They ended up shutting it down a year later when they found the employees just wouldn't show up to work. This is a business that has operated in my local area for years without any problems like that.
Anyway, silly patriotism? Nah, real patriotism. There's more to being an American than paying your taxes. That said, I'm not some patriotic radical. I can see why it would be better to hire a team abroad. Just not in this case.
Thinking about this more, it's not even that he hired a team abroad. They're friends, you can tell, and sometimes friendship knows no bounds. Or maybe he has some affinity with Columbians and specifically wants to help out the local people; that's honorable too.
My issue is how the article's framed, like it's somehow America's fault! I don't buy it!
