    You do realize we are the ones who are going to lose our jobs.

    Not CEOs, not managers, people like us, programmers, technicians, tech support, etc etc

    WE will all be out of a job because of this and everyone thinks its good?

    When felix from mexico takes your job as a programmer, and Kareem from south africa takes your job as a graphic designer, You'll be throwing a fit.

    What you dont realize is, having more workers does NOT help the US economy, importing workers from other countries does NOT help the US economy, What helps the US economy is creating jobs for the workers here in the USA,

    Not creating jobs for people elsewhere. Our economy will be fucked up when globalization is done with it.

    How will you become a programmer when theres programmers all over china willing to work for cheaper?

    Theres a minimum wage in the USA, we need a minimum wage globally, I mean if there were no minimum wage in the USA, minorities would have all the jobs because they'd always be willing to work for cheaper.

    Its competitive enough as it is, why give the third world an unfair advantage of being cheaper than us and allowing them to work longer hours than us

    How can we beat that? What? some wiseass from slashdot is going to say "Well we'll just be smarter"

    I really doubt that considering these people dont have any distractions, they basically live in tents in the jungle or in small villages and can basically write programs all day and night, read books continuously, these people dont watch tv, they dont go to the movies, clubs, etc, you see? These people are more focused, and in order to compete with them, you'll have to give up all yourr free time to studying.

    Think about it, you'll be out of a job!!!

    Hows this help you? or them? the only thing which would help both us and them, is a minimum wage

    I dont give a damn if companies save money, Its about US, not billionares trying to save money so they can buy a new mansion.

    There should be NO ONE EXPLOITED, if globalization exsists, we get exploited because its US who will be replaced by cheaper harder working workers from the third world who work for less.

    Do you really want programmers and computer experts in third world countries working for less, thus you are out of a job because they are cheaper?

    When you are building a machine for a company you build it with the cheapest highest quality parts possible, to keep profits up and costs down.

    Companies will have no reason to hire us because other people will always be cheaper than us and just as qualified, this will make the american worker obsolete in the most important field of information technology.

    Listen, WE NEED FAIR GROUND, we cant compete with cheaper better workers who work longer hours and for less money unless we are willing to work longer hours and for less money.
    This means the cheapest worker sets the rate for ALL workers.

    This is why we need a bottom floor, a minimum wage, so EVERYONE can compete with the cheapest worker and the person most qualified for the job be it in the USA or Afganastan gets hired.

    We should not be hired based on who will do the job cheapest, because if thats the case, Americans will be at the bottom of the ladder, or we'll all be forced to work for the same rates as the rest of the world, So why not create a minimum wage and instead allow the rest of the world to make the same wages as us, at least this way we'll have a bottom floor.

    Do you know why the pop up ad economy online failed? or the dot com economy failed? Ads got cheaper and cheaper until the ad business was no longer profitable.

    This will happen to us with no minimum wage, the wage will be a penny an hour, and people from china will have all the programmer jobs.

    DO you like your job security? or do you want to lose your job to a chinese perosn who will work 7 days a week for 14 hours a day for a penny an hour?

    There was slavery in europe, however you could escape slavery by getting married to a nobel, your children could escape slavery through your hard work, if you are of a totally diffrent race however, once a slave ALWAYS a slave, theres no escape from it because anyone whos white instantly knows you are a slave, you cant run away and go to another town, you cant marry someone white and beat slavery, you cant ever get out of it.

    So yes theres a diffrence between slavery inn the same race and culture, and slavery/oppression.

    Trade works so well in the USA because we all make fair wages, trade wont work when you trade a penny for a weeks supply of food in africa.

    A programmer there should make 100k, a programmer here should make 100k, the minimum wage for a programmer should be 100k, period.

    this would keep companies from exploiting poorer workers and paying them less, it would also make sure WE have jobs, because if they could get away with it, they'd hire 100 percent of everyone from isreal, pakistan and other places.

    They may become richer than they are now, but I believe they'd be better off if they formed their own economy, China for example does not need to globalize, they have more than enough people to form a good economy.

    Also something you dont consider which harms people in the USA, in a completely global information economy, why would anyone hire anyone from the USA? WHy would you get the job when someone from pakistan or asia can do it for cheaper?

    The Pigeonhole Principle and Data Encoding -

    Dr. Claude Shannon's dissertation on Information Theory in 1948 and his following work on run-length encoding confidently established the understanding that compression technologies are "all" predisposed to limitation. With this foundation behind us we can conclude that the effort to accelerate the transmission of information past the permutation load capacity of the binary system, and past the naturally occurring singular-bit-variances of nature can not be accomplished through compression. Rather, this problem can only be successfully resolved through the solution of what is commonly understood within the mathematical community as the "Pigeonhole Principle."

    Given a number of pigeons within a sealed room that has a single hole, and which allows only one pigeon at a time to escape the room, how many unique markers are required to individually mark all of the pigeons as each escapes, one pigeon at a time?

    After some time a person will reasonably conclude that: "One unique marker is required for each pigeon that flies through the hole, if there are one hundred pigeons in the group then the answer is one hundred markers".

    In our three dimensional world we can visualize an example. If we were to take a three-dimensional cube and collapse it into a two-dimensional edge, and then again reduce it into a one-dimensional point, and believe that we are going to successfully recover either the square or cube from the single edge, we would be sorely mistaken.

    This three-dimensional world limitation can however be resolved in higher dimensional space. In higher, multi-dimensional projective theory, it is possible to create string nodes that describe significant components of simultaneously identically yet different mathematical entities. Within this space it is possible and is not a theoretical impossibility to create a point that is simultaneously a square and also a cube. In our example all three substantially exist as unique entities yet are linked together. This simultaneous yet differentiated occurrence is the foundation of ZeoSync's Relational Differentiation Encoding(TM) (RDE(TM)) technology. This proprietary methodology is capable of intentionally introducing a multi-dimensional patterning so that the nodes of a target binary string simultaneously and/or substantially occupy the space of a Low Kolmogorov Complexity construct. The difference between these occurrences is so small that we will have for all intents and purposes successfully encoded lossy universal compression. The limitation to this Pigeonhole Principle circumvention is that the multi-dimensional space can never be super saturated, and that all of the pigeons can not be simultaneously present at which point our multi-dimensional circumvention of the pigeonhole problem breaks down.
