Welcome to business school circa 1998, where 'we'll send it all overseas and $profit$' was taught as a viable business practice.

You manage to ignore many of the failures of outsourcing, such as language and cultural divides between customers (business and consumer) and the offshore workers, and the tendency for outsourcers to provide their A team at the beginning of the contract, then shifting their B and C teams into place as they attempt o land more contracts

And, even if you decide that you are going to take the whole kit and kaboodle offshore, that may work for canned existing services that are fully commoditized, but it completely ignores that American tendency to innovate and create new services and companies

As much as you seem to hate Americans, we are still fucking cool and continue to create what the rest of the world wants to buy

No, it is the difference between nationalistic and global free markets

If America is constrained by their national boundaries (and citizens) for IT workers, the supply will be less than demand and wages will rise

Id America is free to engage a global market, then there is a glut of IT workers and wages will fall

FYI, no other country, including India, allows foreign IT workers to create a glut and reduce the value of their own workers

Um, yeah, never seen emotion driven diatribes on the right either. Unless Hannity and O Reilly are libs now

He has to pay lip service to the 'lack of skilled US workers', even though the H1B workers will undercut the demand that is supposed to drive people into those careers

If you believe in free markets. then you have to let there be a vacuum in workers to create a demand for people to want to work those jobs because they will be worth more money

Supplementing the supply with H1B workers reduces the demand, which would drive US workers to seek those jobs

Yeah, that makes no sense since the gop Congress just got Netanyahu re-elected

The revolving door under the Bush administration was truly toxic, it was natural to expect the same.
Six years into the Obama administration and none of the worst case expectations have come true.

Will probably be a Vizio

To be perfectly honest I spent most of the 90's installing software in Unix as root because, well, it eliminated any issues with permissions

It wasn't until the late nineties that I had an employer who demanded that we build out implementation plans for each install that followed their tight security guidelines

I would bet that more than a few *nix admins just do everything as root to avoid any hassle during install

because it is buggy code that is written with poor security that allows things like this to spread in the first place

Good catch, it is amazing how quickly people accept outright lies

I notice a rapid response to any negative articles on neonicitinoid products, it seems similar in tone and tactic to anti-global warming noise

The makers of neonicitinoid pesticides have billions in profits to protect, they will not let something like the death of our number one food crop pollinator get in their way

enhancing shareholder value or something like that

60+ years of propaganda are hard to turn on a dime

Yes, think about the horrendous outcomes of Gattaca: High IQ's, no genetic illnesses, long lives... and small penises

OH THE HORROR!

I always thought that Vampires were Zombies with slightly less messy eating habits and a hell of a lot more culture
