That's why we're giving illegal immigrants legal status, because they'll do them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,623 #27 February 27, 2004 QuoteBeing in the software development field, I've seen this take place right in front of me at 2 companies. It really pisses me off as a born citizen with a college education . Unborn citizens after your job? That's precocious.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

SuFantasma 0 #28 February 28, 2004 Yep, our top brass has figured out that in order to keep their fat paychecks they have to move the labor to low-paying laborers elsewhere. But there is poetic justice on the way, as the stockholder begin to demand outsourcing the very positions that lead the companies. Soon, it won't make sense to have 70% of your employees in China and your CEO in the US.

billvon 2,394 #29 February 28, 2004 >Let the bastards dig their own grave. If India, China, Pakistan etc can do better work for less, they will win in the end. It's capitalism at work. If, on the other hand, americans use the resources they have (our educational system, our pool of talent, our infrastructure) to do a better job than anyone else can do, we will win. It will be our skill, not our labor unions or strikes or tariffs or protests, that will save us (if anything will.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
