Outsourcing is Good for You

Posted by michael on from the suck-it-up dept.

gManZboy writes "Catherine Mann, from the Institute for International Economics, has a look at What Global Outsourcing Means for U.S. IT Workers up over at Queue. She's got an interesting argument: outsourcing means cheaper IT products, meaning businesses will buy more, meaning more products to make & manage = net gain of IT jobs in the US. Ummm, did you follow that?"

    Actually, sorry, China surpasses us there too- that's why we're disabling our ICBMs to build a missile shield- because their missiles are more accurate than ours.

    In case the last 50 years has not taught you anything, it seems that none of the major powers are willing to blow up the world. It is this thing called Mutually Assured Destruction. Also, since the rest of the world looks down upon countries spreading nukes, I don't think China will be selling nukes or nuke capable missle technology any time soon.
