Largely because you do not understand.
No, because I do not like corporate scumbags getting rich while working class people lose their jobs.
Why? If another country can do it better, faster and cheaper, why should we force American citizens to pay more for inferior goods?
Tech support IS NOT A PRODUCT. The products being supported WERE CREATED IN THE UNITED STATES ... why shouldn't tech support be here as well?
It's a huge disservice to Americans to outsource those jobs. It's nothing more than a few overpaid assholes sacrificing the working class to increase their profits. I find this offenseive, dispicable, and COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
Because....? If Americans want to get paid 10 times they need to be 10 times as efficient.
We're not talking about manufacturing. We're talking about tech support. This does not require greater effeciency. The ourtsourcing of these jobs is nothing more than a profit increaser.
Furthermore many firms send jobs overseas because they can effectively operate a 24 hour workday. That's powerful stuff.
They send the jobs overseas so they can pay less and work people like slaves without being subject to legal reprecutions.
It's nothing more than corporate sponsorship of sweatshop labor.
So you are saying that the US government should mandate that Americans be forced to pay for inferior goods at higher prices merely so that their fellow citizens can have a job?
Again --- for the third time .... WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT PRODUCTS. We're talking about technical support for software products.
Americans need those jobs. We need to have a way to feed our children and pay our rent. Big business needs to be banned from sending those jobs overseas JUST TO INCREASE THEIR PROFITS.
That's welfare.
No. I am not talking about a handout... I am talking about a hand UP. I am not asking for a freebee! I am asking for the right to work and earn a living. American companies need to be employing Americans first.
Outsourcing of these types of jobs is nothing more than a profit-maximization tool.
You keep saying it's unacceptable but you give absolutely no reason why we should do it other then for welfare reasons.
It's not welfare --- that is a term corporate douchebags use when they get called out by people who are tired of their nonsensical bull****.
It's leaving those jobs in the United States so that Americans have the opprotunity to earn a living. Big business needs to be legally prohibited from increasing their profits (and the size of their bonuses) by causing abject poverty that essentially kills the middle class.
It's bull**** and it needs to be stopped.
