My job probably WILL be soon. That doesn't change reality
My job probably WILL be offshored in the near future. There are more indian nationals than american nationals where I work now.

I also fall down when I trip.

I can't repeal gravity either.

Labor is CHEAPER there. Either we do 5 times as much work as they do or it is cheaper to make products there and every time you go to walmart and buy a cheap product you support exporting jobs.

But then again, does it make sense to buy a $379 pair of tennis shoes to support a U.S. Job?

I do not think so.

Yes there are issues we need to address where they are scamming us. We also need to address the corporations scamming us. And finally we need to slow it down a little so folks have time to adapt to the change.

But it's ludicrous to think we are going to STOP the change.
