Or ears. All I have to do is listen to the names and accents of the Chineese and indians that I'm surrounded by. What were you doing during 911? I was here then too and when the economy sank, guess who got sent home by the barge load. My company needs labor and this country only graduates 50ish thousand engineers/year. It is HR's job to get the cheapest smartest engineers they can and for the moment they need to look overseas for some of them. By the way, boeing insisted on 15 percent outsourced engineering as a ticket to even get on this project. Why do you suppose that is? 1, to keep costs down. 2, to sell lots of $150,000,000 airplanes overseas.
Guess what?
The portion of the plane engineering and production which is outsourced, will slowly increase.
Eventually those foreign engineers will end up working for some aerospace firm in Shanghai or Beijing. Funded by the Chinese government. Working with American designs.
And you’ll be competing with China. At a 100 to 1 price disadvantage.
Wonder if you’ll be eager to defend the “free market” then...
We are truly in a race to the bottom.
“Free market” means we’ll keep losing jobs and industries, until working Americans make no more for our efforts, than the cheapest, most corrupt major foreign competitors pay their own people.
Then we’ll all be slaves.
Wonderful.
