Interesting thought, but I don't think that China (age veneration) has the same cultural norms and concepts that did the English/Scottish Enlightenment from which the US got it's ideas.
As soon as hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indians entered the job market, wages were guaranteed to fall. No, I don't like it either, but railing against it is akin to railing against the Sun rising in the East.
That's engineering logic. HR & management have a different logic and follow a different set of rules. See my comments regarding government regulations and insurance rules.
You've not looked at all of the local,state and federal laws pertaining to insurance and employment and how much of a hassle it is to fire the incompetent.
My health-food eating, California-living relative got and died from cancer. Thus, I'm not sure whether to call you an insensitive clod or an insightful social commentator.
Even if my "virtuous" country had barred it's companies from working for Teh Eevil, some other not no virtuous country's companies will be more than willing to do the work (and employ it's workers at the same time).
Eeeevil Landlords are going to suffer (yay!!!) because rents will plummet, and commercial construction will plummet throwing even more laborers out of work (boo!! or yay if your goal is to foment revolution).
Of course, ATT could just hold on to most of these hard assets, selling them off slowly while boosting their balance sheet in the meantime.
I was thoroughly taught the eevils of the Crusaders, but not a peep of the conquerors the Crusaders were trying to kick out, so I feel a bit of duty to present "the rest of the story".
No excuses from me; just counteracting the mass fallacy that only the Crusaders were Teh Evil and that the Muslims were a bunch of Little Miss Innocents.

Yes, what's your point?

If you do not commit a crime, you should not get arrested and DNA profiled...
Sarcasm, right?
Michael Jackson, and Ted Kennedy
Ummm, that'll be a bit difficult.
I'm pretty sure none of that is relevant to the point I was making.
Sure it is., since hiring more workers is a hassle.
If anything, they make my point stronger.
How so?
Globalization tells me that companies will shift the rest of their IT work to India and China if we unionize...

You can already modify stuff in Photoshop to change things
Except that you must scan in and then print back out your the document, in which signatures would instantly be detected as fraudulent.
the cost would be expensive even if they become mainstream
Like computing power and capacity (and laser printers, for that matter) are as expensive as they were 20 years ago?
only groups that would need one would be offices that have a laser printer
ROTFLMAO.

Short and easy to spell? Agamemnon, Odysseus, Triptolemus, Hephaestus, Anesidora, Prometheus, Cytherea, Persephone, Pausanias, etc, etc.
But I don't want to have my throat sliced up by broken glass!
Wah, wah! Baby wants a Zima!
Neither are automobiles, but we keep on driving them.
Social or technical?
Except when the cost-cutting necessitated by that brutal competition requires the company to ship your job overseas?
maybe ATT later goes bankrupt because what it had book as 100 billion in assets could never be sold for 100 billion
Your *complete* lack of clue and concomitant bizzaro-world conspiracy logic makes me immediately think that you are an OWS sheep.

But how much more tolerant were the Muslims of non-Jizya-paying infidels than the Crusaders were of "others"?
A little, a lot, somewhere in between? It really does matter, and just the simple word "more" doesn't come close to indicating which shade of grey.
Then your comment is meaningless, since "more" can be anything from a zepto-zepto- zepto-percent greater to a zetta-zetta-zetta-percent greater.
relatively democratic Muslim insurgents
Eh? You're joking, right?
And if they did not pay the Jizya?
I was thoroughly taught the eevils of the Crusaders, but not a peep of the conquerors the Crusaders were trying to kick out, so I feel a bit of duty to present "the rest of the story".
And the Caliphate armies pushed into central France before being pushed back by Charles Martel.
Anyway, of course it justifies the Crusades. What powerful civilization doesn't try to conquer back what was taken from it?
Just don't think there was anything Christ-like about the Christians.
