So, he's a victim because of outsourcing? What a crock.
He CHOSE to take a life. He COULD have looked for work elsewhere.
This article is a bunch of crap, only for the "**wahhhhh** we are getting outsourced" agenda.

I agree. This negativity and leftist brand of victimology is just sad.
Whatever happened to the American spirit that stands up to challenges and takes people through adversity and hard times?

We really don't need these doom and gloomers ruining the moral of everybody else.

It was regulated out, it was killed through corporate profit that called on cheaper labor to do the high skilled work, it was killed by increased costs and licences and fees...It was also killed by Unions raising wages over the top and corporations giving millions away in bonuses while the people who did the production got laid off.

It got killed by over regulation, it got killed by the creation of laws designed for revenue, not right and wrong.

Horatio Alger is impossible today, for it is not pluck or ability these days that can make a man, it is circumstance and divine providence in marketability of your skills.

Thank the last generation of congress critters for that, and thank the present batch for not seeing it.

Allow me to succeed in the things I am already capable of doing without having to fear regulation and I can succeed tomorrow in a few things right off the top of my head, but my present brainstorm are pipe dreams, I could not afford the insurance for my designs.

If all that mattered was brass balls and effort, we would all be millionaires.

are you living in some kind of dream world? first let me say i will never be affected by the loss of tech jobs nor will my husband,but i do not understand the lack of empathy for people who have lost jobs through no fault of their own except for the absolute whorishness and greed of some corporations. i would gladly pay more for services than lose our american middle class.
i fear some of you are paying a little too much attention to limbaugh with his nonsensical gibberish about the whininess of US workers. opportunities for well paying jobs are dwindling.
