I wonder if that is because of his inability to spell the name of major corporations like Hewlett-Packard correctly.
As far as outsourcing goes, I highly doubt that this will be the downfall of the US, but to be honest, the author of this article lost all credibility with me when he spelled Hewlett-Packard incorrectly. Then when he starts bringing up the demise of Social Security, well, it all went down the drain then.
People have been suggesting this would happen since 1971, at least, and now I find myself knocking on the door for collecting it myself.
Cheap labor brings higher profits, and allows more time for the skilled personnel to do what they do best, coming up with the technology and ideas. So what if they hire Rajid to write the software, Rajid is not the one that was able to come up with the idea. This is not any slight against anyone from India, but you may notice that India is not producing companies like Dell, or Microsoft. Of course, maybe that is where Hewlet Packard is based out of.
I have to thank StuartD for listing the natural resources of Canada for me though. I always thought it was snow, their women, and canned moose.
