What is to prevent all jobs eventually from being done more cheaply overseas?
I see nothing to stop it except a few more technological advances.
If that were to happen, would you still be celebrating?
Can we really be a nation of gas station attendants and waitresses, buying from each other and the world?

A college friend is an architect. He was also a free trader. No longer. Architecture jobs are starting to be sent to india in droves. He said americans are still drawing the outside of the buildings because we know what fits "culturly" in a given local. However the plans are sent to india where they design the inside structure/heating/ HVAC etc. Very easy to download state codes.
