When it makes a corporation more profit to outsource their entire production, making them essentially just a holding company of their own brand and intellectual designs, and farming out all the physical work of everything from building to service support, it will eventually lead to market collapse as you also farm out the society-supporting jobs that allow people to consume the very products you make.Salt Lake is still much easier to live in at $65K than the Seattle area is.
