We make industrial solvents and lubricants to move the machinery of our industrialised society. That's a fitting slogan for a company from fifty years ago. Today, our industrial centres are collapsing, left abandoned in the wake of the mass exodus of businesses to foreign shores. Thank you, globalisation, for opening up new markets for our multinationals to sell our American-made products. Unfortunately, those products are no longer made by American workers. The American workers are laid off from their jobs, laden with debt, and then made homeless when the bankers foreclose on their homes they can no longer afford. And how are they rewarded? They are called lazy, delinquent, moochers by the people who have sent their jobs overseas. When we come for them, they will run for those shores to escape our wrath. But like the multinational corporation, the worker knows no border for we are everywhere.
