Re: outsourcing jobs to a different place
It's called giving away the store. Scab work is scab work, no matter how you try to rationalize or smear lipstick on it. In the meantime, the capitalist "movers and shakers" at the top reward themselves princely sums for their smug, shortsighted "cleverness," all the while bringing in but more foreigners to serve as their gardeners, nannies and waiters. Don't think for a second the multi-nationals don't support and help fund open borders per their pals in the federal government.
As it is, we thought up and built most tech industries; now "American" companies are giving them away at previously unimagined speed thanks to "globalism" in all its newfangled stripes. When Asia and Marxist Asia [!] get our jobs, you don't just sh*t on white collars, you do so equally to blue collar labor. Eventually innovation itself starts to take place overseas, to include emerging industries. Mark my words.
So instead of investing sensibly in the future by subsidizing higher schooling or vocational training domestically, and taxing offshore-labor products, our industry moguls simply look away as more and more Americans are duped out of work. Those that "invest" in themselves are still left with largely bleak prospects, considering they're stuck holding bags of schooling debt with no guarantees they won't be passed over by foreigners hired on the cheap, most of whom are provided schooling by their governments for little to nothing.
It's a shame you can't see anything alien or shortsighted in these modern one-world practices. Only guns eventually displace butter at the boiling point, as history teaches time and again. You may recall a prime example when American revolutionists had enough of the same at the hands of their English masters and their commercial proxies playing similar games at the outset of this country's inception. It almost happened again during the depression years this century.
Seems to me you're the one being duped, if you buy into these commercial charades that few other nations tolerate (certainly not China!). Or is it you're trying to justify similar practices, at say the SMB level? There the sell-out is almost as rampant, you know, when "princes" get it in their heads they'd rather live and strut like kings.
