By outsourcing you have effectively took away somebody livelihood at Pacifc Northwest of the United States…

Maybe I can outsource some nuclear missles from North Korea and level on them in India so hard working and talent people in US can earn their livelihood.

By the way I am not an Amercian.

Cheers

The dirty little secret of IT, however, is that we don’t do a particularly good job of managing large programming projects when the programmers are right down the hall from us, much less a few hundred or a few thousand miles away.

The jury is very much out on the utility and cost savings of offshoring on a large scale, and if you don’t have bulletproof and highly detailed specifications, forget it.

But for well-defined and/or relatively small tasks, outsourcing/offshoring is often a pretty clear win, and being philosophically opposed to it is a bit like being opposed to the weather or the tides; the ruthless logic of global capitalism dictates that where it’s easy to source equivalent services at a lower cost, that’s where the work will flow to.

You see, your claim that the people that don’t agree with your opinion are “looking at short-sighted goals” couldn’t be farther from the truth. To quote another poster, Colin Angus Mackay , “Soon the cost benefits will evaporate and they have to compete on quality “.

Just a couple hundred years ago, your lot in life was determined by the womb you came from; all you had to do is hold on to it. I think we can all agree that alot has change since then. When we all focus on the better product or service, even if it is not from the county that leads the market in consumption or developement, we will eventually have a world where the smart, adaptable human will prosper.

I don’t know about you, but that’s a long-term goal I can live with.

Yes, Peter. I shop locally. But if put on the line, I’d rather see my money go to Arkansas where the income tax actually benefits my country instead of overseas, which just drains our funds.

Colin, I’d disagree. People who still understand community don’t sell out their own. Do you think the tiny Chinese markets, or the barrio groceries in NYC compete on price? They do so to support their own. It’s only when you get to the point that money’s all that matters that you are willing to sell out your community to elevate yourself above it.

Oil rich states in the Middle East protect the oil business voraciously, because they’re smart enough to understand that if they no longer dominated the oil market, they’d be up shit creek. It’s too bad America doesn’t see it’s own advantages.

The world makes America what it is because it’s the world’s marketplace. Everone wants to make it here, because it’s where everything happens. This is where the new stuff comes out, this is where the dollars fall. When we’ve sold that out, what will we be? When everyone wants to pimp their wares somewhere else, we’ll be in the position that India’s in now – competing on price trying to grab a foothold in the playmaker states.
