Cruise companies are based here in the USA, but fly the flag of other countries because of the tax situation. Can't blame them I guess, but it's coming back to bite them in the ass now.

The cruise lines thought they were gaming the system by registering in foreign countries. They won for a while but as with all gambling, the house always wins. So I now snicker and point at management who are getting absolutely destroyed by their own game. The thing is, though, what to do with the average worker who has bills to pay and no job.
