Another reason why we need to stop outsourcing

[brandonbull]

No slurpy for you.

This is unreal. America has practically sold it's IT soul to India and this is what we get. Makes me want to punch Bill Gates in the mouth because he can't send jobs over to India fast enough.

Ok, lets pull our jobs from there and see how much "outrage" there is over there. It's the same thing over and over - other countries love to hate us while we pour dollar after dollar into their hell hole. Or never want to like us - until they need business or military.

It would amaze you that the united states is actually 1/20th of the world

Yes, my little curry-pot. The shareholders will really appreciate the drop in returns, simply because they're totally all with the whole "stick-it-to-'em" patriotic thing. :roll:

Naw, consumers have absolutely no problem spending more money on products that are made/serviced in the US. We would gladly pay a 20% "made in America" surcharge. The cheaper products would gather dust on the store shelves, right?

He seems to have cooled down, from the article:

"I think it's a procedure that needs to be followed, but an unfortunate procedure," he told reporters Saturday in suburban Chicago.

The incident is unfortunate as cultural differences seem to amplify the severity. On the other hand, probably have been several US citizens treated in the same manner by our own.

I thought everyone knew Khan. They should have treated him better at the airport, he does not forgive trespasses easily...

We should all stop worrying about working and just invest in these companies that outsource. Problem solved.

Yeah, seriously. Let the brown people do the work, while I sip my mojita. Fail-proof-plan.

The car industry is there to prove that

If the GOVERNMENT would get out of the way and let free markets dictate wages, companies wouldn't need to out source to stay competitive in the first place.

The cup of coffee I buy at the gas station on the way to work costs more than some of those outsourced workers make for an entire days work. American workers simply can not compete with someone who can live off of $5 a week.

Wages in India for IT are pretty good (18,000-50,000 USD), and standard of living is good also. You cant compare India's IT jobs to a Nike factory in China.

 

[piasabird]

I see no reason to visit India. Search all you want. Who Cares? Lets just bar all people from India from coming to the United States and Vice-versa. No one is forcing people from India to come to the United States.

How did you come up with those figures?

 

[Infohawk]

I don't see what the new story has to do with outsourcing. Boo f'n who for the actor who got questioned at the airport. It's not the end of the world.

Well at least you can see how offencive racial profiling is when it is applied towards those you consider your own. Now If only you could bring yourself to apply that lesson towards respecting everyone else.

Umm.....we pay people with a masters degree or a PhD in computer science roughly $500 to $1,500...$2000 MAX

Not only that, but they work +10 hour days AND work 6 days a week.

That's one of the dumbest, most ridiculously wrong statements I've ever seen in print here.

It's exactly the big corporate players in your so-called "free market" that are dictating rampant out-sourcing!

DAMN, yer dumb! :roll:

 

[yllus]

Hollywood and Bollywood types are alike in thinking they shouldn't have to put up with the little hassles in life the rest of us are resigned to. Past that, and the predictable overreaction of his fans, what's the fuss about? Pretty sad to see this turning into a thinly veiled racist rant.

Really?

So when a job only provides a $4 return on the work are you going to

A) hire an American at $10 an hour because of minimum wage laws and lose money
B) outsource the job to another country
C) automate the job with machinery

Not to mention the fact that there might be Americans who are willing to do the job for $4 an hour.

Before the great depression they use to have people who operated elevators. These people were paid small wages but were also unskilled labor. Once minimum wages laws were passed, it was cheaper for building owners to upgrade to automated elevators. Now, the people who operated the elevators like their job and were willing to work for their low wages but the building owners could not legally pay them. Many many jobs were NEEDLESSLY eliminated.
