Offshore Auto Clubs

Winston over at Nobody Asked, But... recently had a relatively hilarious encounter with offshoring. But there's a very serious side to this (obviously) as well, and it cost a motor association a member of better than 25 years standing.

Is it really just coincidental that the American Oil Company is now owned by British Petroleum and serviced from India? There are times that I feel as though I'm living on an infamous Disney ride. Like the ride, today's economic realities are funny in a pandering, kitschy sort of way, but horrifying in their ultimate consequences.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
