Yes, it's heartbreaking, but just as the prices of ballpoint pens,

It's supply and demand. You can't change it by denial or by
regulation. Do you want to build a Berlin Wall to keep American
enterprise imprisoned here? Will you advocate machine-gunning them in
the back as they desperately try to escape to freer countries with
less spoiled workers?
Of course not. Then don't be tempted by the protectionist path which
has that as its logical end. Give regulators an inch, they take a
mile.
1) When American jobs and manufacturing go overseas, it's because
we"re finished with it and are moving on to something new that the
rest of the world will also play catchup with - someday. Maybe some of
you will hitch your wagon to that new thing. Or invent it.
YES!!! Drop your ones and zeros Here is the next big thing.

And when we grow tired of that we can import cheep labor to cut down our
dead trees and move onto something else.
2) Given the unthinkably low quality of Indian customer service and -
last I knew - of I/T personnel, don't be surprised if there's a
backlash, and competent Westerners get rehired in what I'll call an
"Indian Summer". We might not yet BE finished with I/T engineering....

Now everyone run out and see Star Wars (or any other drivel they
release) this Christmas to pay for Disney's slave H1B labor! They
need every last cent of profit for such a hurting organization.
Here's something even more amusing: I had a friend who got the ax in
Disney's late 2014 bloodbath. He died less than a year later. I'm
not
going to explain it on this mailing list, but I'm pretty sure
Disney's
actions substantially hastened his death. He was a spectacular
developer, system architect, and manager.
Disney will never get another cent of my money.
