I found the editorial interesting, but also wondered why I had never heard of OpEdNews.com before. Take a gander at Fox Attacks CBS, Tries to Persuade Viewers to Stop Watching at http://www.opednews.com/Kall1003_Fox_attacks.htm . The author is Rob Kall who is described as editor of www.OpEdNews.Com a tough liberal news and opinion website.

It's kinda fun to watch you self destruct.

All manufacturing careers are going overseas.

More doom and gloom, the sky is falling, from the loony left. Yes, jobs are going overseas. No, I don't like that. Yes, we have far too many unemployed. But, ALL manufacturing? No.

Twenty years ago my husband and a friend of his started a manufacturing company. Just two guys in a small shop. Through their hard work it is now a large facility on ten acres. Employees about 90 people, give or take depending on the work orders. Right after Sept. 11 business came to a screeching halt. Now, business is booming like crazy. No jobs are outsourced. They hire good old fashioned Americans. And, shock of shocks, it's manufacturing! And its right here in the good old US of A.

I'm sick of winers crying the sky is falling.

More anti-corporate propaganda from the socialist plans Willie Green.

Urban centers like New York City, which had a January unemployment rate of 8.6%, have been particularly hard hit.

The author of this article is either ignorant or he's being deliberately disingenuous. Believe it or not, the most serious economic problem faced by New York City -- despite its 8.6% unemployment rate -- is a labor shortage.

By the thousands jobs are being exported, or the new word, outsourced to India, Hong Kong, Peoples Republic of China, Panama, Manila, The Philippines; and many other countries where the local citizens speak English.

Speak English? well that may be what they call it but english... no. And their level of expertise $u(&s. They can not identify the most basic issues with a computer that are commonly mistaken for failed hardware componets... low system resources.

So, dear reader, if you find yourself maddened by the inarticulate, difficult to understand tech on the telephone, perhaps it's time we made our voices heard. If you pick up your telephone and dial an out-of-state number and the voice on the other end of the telephone is speaking in an almost unintelligible accent from India or some other foreign country, you can rest assured your phone call was re-directed outside of the United States.

The best tactic is if you get a mush-mouth (tech lingo for a punk in India) which you will if you call any of the major PC manufacturer OEM support... let them fumble and then demand a supervisor. Tell them you want someone that REALLY does know how to identify the issue with the computer and that you also want someone that REALLY does speak English, not engrish.

I don't think there's any reason to get upset.
In this day and age, anybody can get a Scott or e-trade account and, with a little savvy, turn their portfolios into cash-spitting ATMs, generating enough money every week to get that new Escalade and add another garage to the shore house.
