If offshoring didn't involve the slow extermination of America,

[Deja Q]

would you agree with it?

Or would you still be against it?

I'd be for it.

As it stands, all it's doing is making a new group of people to exploit, while ditching the old ones down the slow-motion grinder. Left to die, slowly and painfully. Especially if you're in debt.

And when the Chinese and other countries ask for the investments back, remember: It's not real outrage. It's fabricated, as a show for the benefit of the masses who are still able to live. :tinfoilhat:

1. This whole "guest worker" thing is so that corporations can have

a supply of cheap labour in 5 years when the boomers retire and jobs needed to be filled are plenty. When price of oil rises to $100 + a barrell... manufacturing jobs in china will be lost - so too in the USA. But at least the USA economy has started to shift to areas that they can compete in in this next century. It is a liberal idea. To trade and to specialize.

Bush WH has given up any advantage that U.S. could have had in clean & renewable technologies. Because it was dancing to big oil. What a shame. Some european will be licencing and selling their technology around the world for the next 100 years.

2. Offshoring wouldn't have been such a massive problem

if the factories had been built where the market is: US factories for the US market and third world factories for their emerging markets. Unfortunately, the third world, protectionist itself, has looted US industry while keeping the US as their primary market.

Well, the US market is being choked off, and now their primary market is offshore, also.

Still, the scumbag employers want workers who will work for less than it takes to live on, so they smuggle them in from Mexico. This is organized crime, folks, not just people sneaking through the desert in search of a better life. They are trafficking in poor human beings like they used to run guns and cigarettes up from the deep south.

Obviously, the remedies will be unpopular: tariffs, contributing to inflation plus stiff prosecution of any employer found to have illegals working for him plus a rise in the minimum wage to make illegals look less attractive. We're finished if we don't take action.
