Teacher work days make OAO antsy, and the starts reading things that aren't there.

Anyways, I don't think outsourcing is bad at all. At least the economy still reaps the benefits of it, as opposed to when your own workers leave like the situation we have in Canada. There's no reason for first world countries to keep manufacturing firmly entrenched within their own borders. Factory jobs are akin to working at a fast food joint.

Only the dumb and unskilled are affected by outsourcing. If a machine can do it, there's no point in wasting a brain doing the task anymore. If there's someone on the other side of the world who will push the same button for a quarter of what's paid here, there's no point in wasting your own brain doing it, and you'll be able to produce things for a hell of a lot less.

It's just a natural progression, much like how the Industrial Revolution put Farmer Brown and the village market out of business. The service sector is taking control of the economy, and service industry jobs require just happen to require a brain. Revenge of the nerds.
