In the end, companies may just say fine, we do the concept, then let some engineer in our Asian subsidiary figure this out.
And but another reason, in a now endless stream of possibilities and pathways, to lateral each and every ball to Asia. I give you credit for creative thinking. You should go far as a corporate denizen. Recruiters!
Only you do realize that we also import foreign labor by the millions from south of our border, year after year (all in violation of existing laws, but condoned and protected by our Federal overlords). That's because our blue collar stiffs are no longer held to be "worthy" either. You know, because they expect to be paid enough to make it from paycheck to paycheck. Tsk tsk. The fools.
Do the math and you'd see that could add up to a bit of jack when compared to foreign sweatshop brigades. Heck, none of those American louts even carry four, let alone eight, year degrees. How could dime-a-dozen billionaires, and of course the tech nouveau riche, relate to such fools and their families? Are you kidding, with billions to be salted and stashed in profits every quarter? GIVE ME A BREAK.
We then import throngs of engineers + coders + scripters of every imaginable (but cheaper) stripe from Asia and elsewhere, only in somewhat reduced numbers. Yet even there, we're bombarded with incessant pleas from within the industry to import more. And more. And ever more! That's cuz we Americans don't have the brains. That's what they tell us, so it must be true.
Ironically, lots of experienced Yanks - ones who helped build the industry along with our vaunted military complex, only on longer term contracts - are no longer "prime time" either. They've become dinosaurs, with baggage. And like those lower caste, blue collar heathens, too costly. Much too costly. Really, what tech industry mavens can relate to riff raff and fossilized cast offs?
And if all that wasn't enough, our now mostly foreign corporations *still proudly bearing American names and HQed here!* offshore any crumbs and tidbits left to Asian shores so they can avoid paying common American workers honest wages, especially when it *ach* might include a modicum of benefits. All but a lucky few mind you, mostly ones who pass trick interview questions. Such talent!!
Everything else violates Multinational Rule Number One: There are ALWAYS cheaper drones to be tapped from remote corners of the globe. Of course robots, cluster/grids and artificial intelligence harnesses will soon enough replace what's left of the gaggle of survivors. At least in America. Until then, lateral to Asia!
