Somehow I can have a hard time picturing a bunch of tekkies rioting in South/Central LA.
I do lots of offshore outsourcing, and there's nothing I'd rather see than a law that forces me (along with my competitors) to hire US citizens. Until the victims come to understand that politics is simply "violence in slow motion", nothing will change.
I lost my cushy job in the dot-com implosion and I am not blaming anybody but myself for knowing there was a bubble about to burst and NOT lining up a job in another industry.
Now I'm getting by with contract work here, contract work there, etc., have an overarching "thing" I do, but it doesn't pay me well and I can't talk about it...erm...anyway, point is:
I don't blame anybody. I've been laughed at by liberals who found out I donated to the Bush campaign when I was "flush" (at one of my workplaces). They told me they bet I wanted the money back, chuckle. I told THEM I'd donate blood to give again if I have to.
And there are jobs out there. If you're looking. And willing to work a little harder than just pushing pens around.
Maybe the "Indians with pregnant wifes" are just willing to take certain jobs you don't want to sully your hands with. Because if you're having employment problems, I will gladly send you a 50+ list of companies hiring in your area. They're data entry type postions, at best, but I'm currently doing pretty much that alongside a lot of other very smart people who've fallen on tough times. Plenty of college degrees to go around.
When I don't work, it's because I'm being lazy, not because someone is stealing my job. But that's just me.
And if we want to get industry going, cut taxes. Better yet, cut CAP GAINS taxes.
