Comment Farming out (Score 1) 587
The term "farming out" carries all sorts of negative connotations.
1. Do other countries "farm out" chip manufacture to Intel, or OS building to Microsoft or farm out plane design and construction to Boeing?
2. I've noticed that in the press, jobs and careers in the States become cheap "labor" and "farmed out" jobs when done in the third world. Would the author have used the term "farmed out" had the jobs been sent from NYC to Memphis? I see not.
