that being said, there is a noticeable percentage of americans being able to compete in places like elance com etc, against indians and their low hourlies.
What keeps them from being smote by a large First World interest? I'd think that there'd be large enough interest to bend that company to the wills of the US.
Elance, and the other unmentionable firms can maintain a US-only market that is closed off from the rest of the world. All would be well.
When someone uses the words "global" or "competition" (and derivatives thereof), someone usually wants to pass off anti-US bullshit.
There are too many government contractors: General Dynamics, Lockheed-Martin, GE, Boeing, and "your other car is a Denver-bound MD-80" MITRE.
There are also a couple of banks: "We outsource to Holland, Michigan" Huntington, Chase...as well as many other Ohio-based or Ohio-located firms that would snap that money up. There is too much interest within Ohio.
Thanks to Kasich, he's going to defend the secrecy (like he has of a firm that "wants to leave NE Ohio") in order to do what you say. That's why I call him Head Banker-elect, not Governor-elect. Bankers manage and protect money, Governors lead.
My admittedly limited understanding of this is that of course it costs us jobs, because it's very expensive to hire US employees compared to the costs of hiring employees in most other countries in the world.
Those countries' governments are cheaper to corrupt to the end of business; they are not cheaper on the worker end. If you want an example of this, see Foxconn.
Economists say the widespread effects are a net gain. I don't know if I believe them--because I haven't done the math, and I've known a lot of economists who aren't very empirical.
The standard of living is not raised; only the amount of junk-grade trinkets is raised. If you want to take it further, the economists fail to figure out what happens to those people who lose their jobs(who usually don't gain a comparable one back).
The first thing I thought of Obama's election is that he would go the Daley path. So far, he has not disappointed me; this trip to Asia is only Obama's Meigs Field. The only goal is that he distances himself from his earlier actions and appeases the current group in power.
The question is what happens if you had to hold the H1-b/etc. candidate to the same standards(and qualifications) as the US one? If firms like Patni can't prove that the foreign candidate can meet the same (impossible) standards, they haven't proven that a US citizen can't do it.
Of course, that might mean that the qualifications get skewed to include language proficiencies and such things that US citizens obviously can't do. That could be addressed by having them act in good-faith towards the citizen, and hire them. Then give the hired person a bit more power by allowing them to report attempts to circumvent (e.g. their projects are designed to fail).
It's ironic that people like you voice dissent at the Indian off shoring situation when you had no problem off shoring our manufacturing jobs to China by lining up at Walmart's feeding trough.
Go to Northeast Ohio, and you'll find out how job losses to foreign countries are handled.
Actually, I haven't a single transaction at that store post-NAFTA. Walking in Wal-Mart is like walking in a foreign land.
The state of Ohio, for example, banned earlier this year the expenditure of public funds for offshore purposes.
One of the many things that was possible with Governor Strickland, and not Head Banker-elect Kasich.
The only shame is that Kasich got elected as Head Banker, instead of the state retaining Governor Strickland. Now we get a Wall Street banker that compares himself to an East Coast thug. By how he's talking to the media, he's not going to step aside; the Head Banker's simply going to exact revenge.
Shin was disappointed. The satire, he and other animators have since argued, gave the impression that Asian artists slave away in subpar sweatshops when, in fact, they animate much of The Simpsons every week in high-tech workshops in downtown Seoul. "Most of the content was about degrading people from Korea, China, Mexico and Vietnam," Shin fumed. "If Banksy wants to criticize these things... I suggest that he learn more about it first."
Perhaps Shin should learn more about the First World, and what it knows about those countries. It isn't good.
Besides, if Banksy went to do his research, he'd get endless varieties of the same Potemkin Village. Not the actual conditions that Shin is wrong about on the large scale..
A couple of things: 1: Treat the charger carefully. The contacts on it too easily drop into the case. 2: The battery in the MX is the same as one of the other cordless ones, just that its battery isn't removable.
You would be right, except for the fact that it's not self-correcting or a market. There's more choice for news than there is for car designs(thanks to the bland "global platform" cars). I can get CNN, MSNBC, and flip to Murdoch's "news" channel on occasion; then I can go read/view/create actual news elsewhere.
Detroit's Big Three do make fine large cars, available to all people. They don't make it a point to hand you a blinged-out golfcart with a turbo for anything under $20k. When the rest of the world can start making less of the bland "global cars" and make some affordable-to-all RWD behemoths, then you would have a point. In the USA, we don't reserve large & powerful cars for royalty, yet. We let everyone have the fun.
The only thing Asia, Europe, and Central/South America have done for me is let me have a wider selection of Detroit metal, courtesy of irrational General Motors hate. For that, I thank Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Hyundai, Ssangyong, Renault, Citroen, Fiat, and the other manufacturers that think that only royalty get true choice.

The problem is that the foreign person is held to lower standards while the US-based one is held to impossible ones.
She's merely an H1-b cheerleader that was denied additional influence.
HP rejected her.
California rejected her as well.
A chip off the Daley block.

For those confused:
Cohen & Grigsby, with offices on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.
Youtube video catching the firm in the act.

The problem is that his job can't be offshored, but the political interests have been offshored.

The H1-b fraud is what kills it for most Americans that stumble upon offshoring's negative qualities.
You don't go to India for US jobs, especially when you're millions of US jobs in the hole.

I suggest something that puts the focus on the education, and get bombed for it.
* Strip the name off the degree
* Ban selectivity for any US citizen (e.g. citizenship guarantees a place once you're otherwise qualified)
* Remove the degree (or any indirect indications of it) from consideration in any job.
Well, go figure that Hulu decided to spoil it now that the unwashed masses get a chance at it.
It couldn't be Apple, who has been impartial to Flash, and welcoming of it on their platform... ...oh, wait.
What did she say about something not being a God-given right anymore? It's close, but so far it looks like Boxer has it.
I guess she can go back to cheerleading for H1-b's or something.
...nothing of value was lost.
It was toned down from the original version.
The problem is that they're "among, not "are". More people in the US/UK get what those countries reserve for the few and well connected.
In the US, we don't need Potemkin Villages, but those countries sure do.

and Shin declined to comment on the full extent of the work his company has outsourced to SEK, a state-run animation studio of North Korea
The hallmark of outsourcing, dishonesty. Shin needs to come clean first.
That's what you get for Third World offshoring. Yes, that means South Korea too.
