Benefits of outsourcing to the economy.

[AChimp]

You don't know anything about trade theory, do you?

Chojin is right. YOU don't know anything about real life. All your pretty little theories look great on paper, but rarely function that way reality.

Labor jobs requiring a high entry-level education base - no matter what that education may be in - are highly unlikely to be outsourced.

Uh huh... and what about when all 1000 low-education jobs in the same factory are out-sourced? Do they ever just say, "Okay, Bob. You and Joe can run the factory by yourselves since you know what you're doing. We're still gonna pay you a lot." No, those jobs move with the factory, too.

The whole point of out-sourcing is to save money and inflate the bottom line. Take a few business administration courses and you'll find out exactly how out-sourcing and lay-offs are handled in big companies.

So saying that jobs in which years of training to become skilled at doing are going to be outsourced has very little basis.

Re-read what Chojin said. It might sink in a little more, since it's probably taken you 10 minutes to read from up there to here (accounting for snack breaks).

Just because you're proficient with an industrial press doesn't mean you can't adapt to a new work environment. Society progresses. Are you saying we should still be telegraphing people because the development of the phone displaced workers who produced the former? I certainly hope not.

Your question is unrelated to anything that we're talking about. Telephone companies emerged from telegraph companies. When there's major technological shifts the industries that are involved retrain their own workers gradually because its cheaper to retain an employee than it is to hire a new one. The workers are happy, too, because they get to keep their job.

You're talking about construction jobs. How the hell are construction jobs going to be outsourced? Oh, that's right, THEY AREN'T.

Ready for this? Scroll back up to what Chojin said. Now think about it again and replace "construction" with any other manual labour job you can think of. I still say you'd pick the Wal-Mart job.

That's pretty hot. Did anyone else think that was totally hot?

Yeah, it was super hot. My ass feels really good after that nursing, but I think the laughing I do while reading OAO's dribbling is just making my stool softer.
