It sounds like the thread is changing towards outsourcing.... again????? Why don't we look at the reason for outsourcing? I see 2 major reasons... 1. The investor's greed to earn the max on his investment... 2. The Government of the country from which things are being outsourced, to create an environment that 1) stays competitive, but at the same time 2) remains viable for companies to operate in. What I mean with the last statement is, it must not become impossible for a factory worker to feed & clothe his kids, because guess what, he will either up-skill, or go on social security(doll), the guy replacing him, will not work for that low a salary, because again, he has commitments to meet...
