We don't live in a vacuum. Creating opportunities in third world countries eliminates opportunities in first/second world contries. Moving poverty around isn't helping anyone (except, in this case, corporations).
Assuming we're talking about American companies outsourcing to wherever.
These companies were founded by Americans (and naturalized American citizens) in many if not most cases. It was Americans who built the company into what it is today. The corporations continue running things from America because it is financially beneficial to do so.
Creating opportunity elsewhere reduces opportunity here. We don't live in a vacuum.
Furthermore, corporations receive tax subsidies to outsource work overseas. Corporations profit from firing American workers, who will in turn go to government for unemployment and other benefits when suitable replacement employment cannot be found.
The only way to avoid this is to keep ahead of the pack or to get a job that can't be relocated
Or purge corporatists from government, enact trade policies that are fair to workers, strip tax subsidies for corporations who outsource, and work to stop more manufacturing from going overseas and begin to re-establish factories in the states. If none of that works most of us own pitchforks, torches and rope...
We've lost sooo much industry since NAFTA & CAFTA & GATT. According to BLM stats, 28 million manufacturing jobs have been lost in the past five years alone. Revocation of tariffs is one reason why. Corporations are *rewarded* for offshoring industry and jobs, thanks to congress.
When we wake up one day and find that all of our good paying jobs (the few that remain) have been sent overseas, and our country is slipping further and further down the porcelin alter.. maybe then we'll realize tariffs weren't such a bad thing after all.
Slitting our own throats by allowing our industries to be offshored en masse. Does that count? Or should we take pride in being the best burger flippers and coffee servers in the world?
America used not to have income tax. We survived on tariffs alone.
As you pointed out, tariffs not only protect American workers and industry they encourage other countries to pay their workers fair wages. The fact that tariffs are discouraged in NAFTA, CAFTA, and GATT shows how evil these trade policies are.
We've seen over and over how successful NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT have been to the American workforce. Tariffs protect jobs and industry.
The obvious solution is to grow sugar here, in the States. Not offshore more industry to neighboring countries. Haven't we lost enough jobs here as it is?
In addition to other neglected shows I also noticed two others worth mentioning, Ultraman and Automan.
I love Lucy Lawless but what did Xena have to do with Science Fiction?
I too am surprised at the overall lack of open-mindedness shown in this thread. Nobody is arguing that a banking job shouldn't require banking attire but many of us work out of visable sight of clients. Dying our hair, or having tasteful tats isn't corporate sin.. or shouldn't be.

My time is more valuable than that. I'll opt for the human-powered checkout lanes. Why are we so obsessed with eliminating jobs in this country???
Developing a vaccine for this threat requires knowing what the threat is, and as yet, there have been no confirmed cases of human-human transmission.
WHO has in fact acknowledged H2H2H transmission. Details here.

Fwiw, the word "missle" does not exist on the link quoted above.
of your job being offshored or outsourced.

We need to grow the damn sugarcane in the states.
Why are we hell bent on offshoring every industry that might earn someone a good living? One day YOUR job will be offshored/outsourced.
I rest my case.
'Why don't they go and tell the oil companies what they should charge for their damn gas?' I rest my case.
I attended an official Novell SuSE training class last year and the rep corrected our using "soo-see", "zu-zuh" and other variants.
The correct pronunciation according to Novell is "soos".

I'm shocked that Farscape didn't make the top 10 much less top 20. Nice to see Battlestar Galactica receive such high praise. It is deserved!

SuSE (at least 9.x) has this splash window you refer to.
Would you mind sharing the old server here?
