17. Job off-shored or not, people like that are speculating, i.e. gambling.
If they lost, that's just the risk they took.

I feel the same way about people who built houses on barrier islands with minimum insurance coverage. If they lost their home to a hurricane or other disaster, I would feel sorry for them but I would not help them rebuild their house on that same piece of high risk property.

On the other hand, I give to charitable organizations that help those struck by disasters or other catastrophes that they could not anticipate or for which they could not properly insure.

If you can't stand the lost then don't play the game.
