All companies regard employees as a pain in the ass. Going by the capitalist model, all workers are essentially profit-stealing overhead. Ideally a company with no employees, run entirely by machines, is the most profitable.

Basic economics works against the working class.

They'll have no US or European market to sell anything to. I wonder how Agile and Scrum will help them then!

Actions trump ideas. Or better yet, actions are ideas. Stated ideas mean nothing; your actions say everything.

Just so you know.

so much as you need a dictionary definition of a sociopath or a psychopath.

Take this definition and compare it to what a corporation does.

he also has a head on his shoulders. You should, like, try it, you might like it.

The argument that monopolies raise the price of cell phone service is well-supported.

Cell phone service voice and data plans are extraordinarily high in the U.S., Japan and Canada, compared to other nations. America is way above the international average. We're the most expensive when it comes to texting. For the whole package of cell phone service America and Canada are the most expensive. Guess which countries keeps coming up as among the most expensive? The U.S. and Canada.

As for PC prices, the number of competitors had very little effect compared to the power of Moore's Law. Had we had more competitors, PC prices might be 25% less right now. A huge part of what we pay for PCs is Windows. If we had more competition there we certainly would see lower prices.

So yes, oligopolies mean higher prices. And Jesus WAS/is in fact a liberal. :D

How about us BROWN PEOPLE in the United States? They're suffering the worst because of jobs lost to other countries.

And when the US Dollar collapses because of all this debt, where will your "brown people" overseas get any jobs? America is just about everyone's biggest export market, when we can't buy your goods or services... whoops.

Same with my desktop. I keep one Windows computer for games though.

you do not understand it.

Companies do not offshore jobs for tax breaks. They don't even do it because of regulations.

Companies offshore because of one simple thing: wages. The wage differential between offshore-happy countries and the U.S. is far above 20 to 1. This is a bigger factor than regulations or taxes combined.

Reduce the minimum wage and you'll have more people trying to take 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet.

Plus the price of energy will never reduce drastically. Not ever. Which means that when the minimum wage is gone, food transportation costs will drive the price of food out of reach for millions. That means mass starvation and CIVIL WAR.

No, really, you will not ever show how energy will ever become 10 times cheaper. You will not even show how energy prices will drop even by 10%. Ever. Not happening.

Apparently there is no market for people who know history. Which means nobody's taking history as a major and in a few generations we'll have no historians.

That's a bug, not a feature.

How much does it cost for criminal interests to bribe a call center employee or manager in America? How about India?

And how does the FBI expect to prosecute someone in India for stealing Americans' personal information?

Whitey? What about the "darkies" in America? Their unemployment is FAR higher than any unemployment in China or India.

No one talks about how "free trade" affects non-white employment in America.

"and now india is not only becoming a superpower, but taking entire industries away from angloamerican sphere. talk about what goes around comes around."

And when the US dollar collapses because of the socialism we need to support our unemployed, India will have no customers because outsourced labor will become too expensive for America. What will India do then? Or China, for that matter? Or the Middle East, Brazil, and everyone else who depends on exports to America?

Ayn Rand may have been an idiot but this would be a real case of a John Galt effect.
