The American Outsourcing Epidemic_pt2

[1Gabrielsson1]

The US peak of power has been reached, both in military and civil areas. other countries are taking the lead. No I am not saying that US will disapere from the world market. it will still be a big country when it comes to world politics but not as big as it was for a couple of decades ago. US have huge finacial problems they have the biggest debts in the world and if China would demand their money back what they loaned to US, Then the US goverment would become almost if not completely backrupt.

[Anothercoilgun]

Tax is bad period.

[sequential32]

outsourcing is so american.. make other people do their jobs so they can sit back and get much more fatter and lazier lol

[Ladiestreat]

Greed rules all in America.

[AmericanMale1953]

Outsource the politicians jobs too.

[photoddgrapher]

Thought Obama was for the worker? Why are we still funding H1b visas.... why are we still letting companies destroy the middle class by outsourcing jobs? It's BS, but just goes to show that no matter the party, they people in charge are happy to watch us get screwed by the want of the short term dollar.

[alzobaiditarique]

Hey fellow Indians...its great dat due to outsourcing now our economy is booming...however as Indians you should be understanding that Americans are upset coz they were in an illusion that Indians are hordes of elephant riding illiterate...and now they jus cant accept it that these same Indians are challenging there livelihood. Its not that Americans are lazy or stupid. They just make wrong decisions at the time of presidential elections.

[xinic12]

cheap labour, idiots wake up.....don't expect every1 to pay salary by american standards..if they do every1 will become millionaires within months..cost of living in other countries in asia is very very less compared to USA...its pay back time i guess folks(no offense) just imagine what u guys did to people in iraq...how the life is in iraq bcoz of ur bloody war..

[joe035]

Cap & Trade, Amnesty for illegal immigrants, Universal healthcare, job future in America doesn't look so good.

[axiom671]

I'll do it four for dollars

[paulsviplist]

So what is one of the names of the businesses that the guy in the video outsourced some of his life to?

I want to outsource some of my homework four a couple of dollars too.

What key words should I use to find them?

[paulsviplist]

LOL.

Even the CIA does outsourcing.

[ptiwari2000]

How can one outsource to India?

* They do not obey traffic laws - Indians will cut corners to provide poor service; & pay bribes to get contracts

* They can't drive straight - No work ethic and will do a shabby job

[gbilios]

we're all gonna be curry munchers and rice eaters..

[pman9]

I live in El Salvador Central America i work for an american company outsourcing here,also does my wife and most of my friends and more work is coming everyday!! So watch out americans.

[zzzbbb123456]

"watch out americans". You should be grateful for you job. I can tell you that you wont be able to compete with China or Asia.

[hollywoodartchick]

and nothing can compete with slave labor camps, so "Watch out" freedom loving people everywhere.

[gbilios]

yeah..and bring back sweatshops..

[gbilios]

be grateful for what? you guys are taking all the jobs..

[zzzbbb123456]

Im from Sweden and we value Patriotism higher then Capitalism.

[MadPutz]

zzzbb123456, you mean a Swede deserves more than an Indian? You are a nationalist, not a patriot. Outsourcing leads to long-term increased wealth for workers of both countries.

95% of Americans used to be inefficient poor farmers. Today 3% of Americans are efficient middle class farmers for a far larger American population. Those farming jobs were destroyed. Farmers protested during the turn of the century, trying to halt progress. Their descendants have better lives because they failed.

[zzzbbb123456]

@MadPutz No, to your first question, nationalist patriot same thing, nothing wrong with that. Yes I am. Honestly I only care fore the world domination of the world by the americans. Because when the americans prosper, sweden prospers. We sell alot of goods to the US and vice versa.

[Shackleford43]

I'm American and I agree Patriotism is more important that Capitalism. I feel outsourcing is wrong. Most Americans are very ignorant and dont know that people in high possitions are taking advantage of them. I feel keeping the jobs in America is what is best for the country. Perhaps I will move to Sweden (a smart country) when America gets stabbed in the back

[mannecyberguy]

@Shackleford43 It would be nice to figure out a way to get it through the heads of the executards in America that capitalism is not more important than patriotism.

[nfd1960]

@mannecyberguy

What this assholes are doing is not capitalism it's GREED the should be shot as traders

[mannecyberguy]

@nfd1960 You mean "traitors", they, in my opinion, are in serious need of a reality check.

[4merCIA]

Outsourcing to countries who obviously have no love for the US, should be considered economic and political treason. American consumers built American companies,Americans deserve to benefit from their loyalty as consumers.

[rushingfn]

Selling ports to good arabs was a good idea, once again Democrats were being racist when it benefitted them.

[09669390]

The problem with the English speaking world, the governments are lacking common sense. Having guest workers to take care of the mining and manufacturing sectors, whilst corporations are based in tax havens; tell me how it possible to generate jobs and tax revenues for local economies?

[hollywoodartchick]

The governments know exactly what they are doing - taking money from corporate lobbyists to sell out their constituents. It is not an accident. They are committing treason and hiring PR firms to tell us all why it is actually good for the whole world.

[zorro14142]

Hey, why not outsorucing the Senat?

[WolYou]

Yes, and the management! The managers in romania, tibet or india are very cheap. In Europe and the US one top-manager costs as much as 150 to 800 workers.

[gbilios]

one of the problems is exec salaries.they earn more than what the company makes..

[nikuskumar]

India is very poor country. Sifting jobs at the cost of 1/4th of cost is definitely useful for companies...

[prasopts]

hmmm, no one can stop india, the reason is american companies dont trust their own people, and americans are not fit to do outsourcinf jobs, and there are some shoking company policies that you americans never wanted to know about...... :-)

[venebi]

Is this what they tell you in India? Companies don't trust their people? Are you on drugs, dude? I have education and experience to do my job right, but some douchebag from India will come here on working visa and do it for a fraction of my salary. That's your shocking policy? I just lost my job to outsourcing. Nielsen threw me out because they sold out to TATA. Is this justice? But I don't blame India, it's our own corporations who rape us!

[rajkiran1982]

That is definetely not what THEY tell in India. People in India are well aware of things in US and World in general.

Indians have for long been bashed as a poor country and so on. For a change, Indian middle class is able to raise their heads proudly of their growing economics.

This new outlook is also filling some arrogance in few young people who make comments like the one you read. However, majority are the gandhian style - down to earth.

[gbilios]

thats a good thing for india for now; but in long run sometime in the late 21st century, you'll end where you started from...thats your fate..

[gbilios]

join the club friend..outsourcing is just a fraction of the underlying problem..in the next 50 years, you can expect 2/3rds of the word's forests transformed into business infrastructure like manufacturing.. we're destroying the world for greed.. india and china populations are increasing and they need your living space..give it up or you fight for it?? you're right..its your corp leaders at fault..they don't care the indian slaves doing their dirty work and they don't like you..

[Spaloot]

Chinese and Indians don't hate us. They know more of our culture thant we (US & EU) know about them. A lot of them know English while I've never met anyone able to speak their language in our countries.

Besides, China and India don't have a long history of external warfare, they're not like us, they won't conquer us the same way we conquered (almost so to say) the whole world.

[gbilios]

the india and china is gonna knife you in the back...but they're gonna get away with it...speaking in foreign languages is not permitted in most parts in the US..correct me if am wrong that's' what i have been told..

[cruxan430]

all this outsourcing realy sux there is a way to stop outsouring contries need to buy local goods avoid buying goods from over seas when posible peak oil is on us fuel will be to expesive in the future to keep outsourcing we must recreate the old school mom and pop buisness its up to the individuals to stop all this outsourcing over 6 billon people on this planet now trees fall faster than there replanted if 2 billion people planted 2 trees per year well that would be 4 billion trees per year

[cws31ao]

When this outsourcing problem begins to significantly affect your average worker and not just american high-tech workers/companies, more of the population will get involved and hopefully we can turn this situation around. Outsourcing engineering and call centers has been going on for nearly 20 years and many americans are just beginning to wake up.

[again2021]

Middle class squeeze? There is no middle class anymore, that died when bush went into office.

[alfatourist]

He will cancel NAFTA & other managed trade agreements which are the root cause of foreign occupatiton of American employment.

However, he believes in free trade on a level plain field.

[weRhere2stay]

how will Ron Paul stop outsourcing? where can I verify that?

[kitechocolate]

He cannot & nobody can. However, he can nullify the policies that promote destruction of our interest as Americans & promote the interest of special groups.

[alfatourist]

Ron Paul cannot stop outsourcing. Nobody has the power to do it. Nevertheless, he will kill those policies that promote the interest of special interests & destroy the interest of regualr Americans.

All good leaders can do is to make right choices.

The free market economy & a policies that promote level plain field is the right choice.

[weRhere2stay]

when u say level plain field what do you mean? you mean easy access to overseas labor? can u clarify that for me please?

[alfatourist]

By level playing field I mean equal ability to compete. Manged trades like NAFTA, WTO & CAFTE gives special advantage to special interest & not an instrument of free trade. Ron Paul is for free trade.

[weRhere2stay]

but there is never going to be equality on this globalize market. Free trade only favors corporations as they have access to cheap labor thus creating outsourcing and lost of US jobs....on the other side, the developing countries can NOT simply compete with the developed countries for obvious reasons.

[weRhere2stay]

The agricultural sector from the develop country can not compete with HUGE agricultural subsidies by the US governement, so farm workers get out of business and displaced thus creating illegal imigration...its only a win-win for the rich, it destroys the middle class at both ends (develop and underdevelop countries)

[weRhere2stay]

correct me if I am wrong but if he supports free market, how will outsourcing end? I mean, free market means companies moving freely around the world without gov intervention...so they have access to cheap labor...am I right?

[alfatourist]

He is not loyal to special interest groups like most of the others.

plus he is the most competent & energetic despite his age.

His record is cleans.

He firmly believes in constituions.

He will reduce the spending.

He will balance the budget.

He will reduce the national debt from the current 9 trillion dollars.

[alfatourist]

I don't think outsourcing of all your work is not a natural lifestyle at individual levl so it is not at the macro level.

Outsourcing is leading towards total transfer of opportunities to use brain power to produce complex products or processes.

How can this be good for the home country?

Vote for Ron Paul.

He is honest

Does not take money from the special interest group.

He will suspend the tax break that promotes outsourcing.

[klockzulu]

Ron Paul will eliminate income tax across the board.

[alfatourist]

I think massive outsouricng also means massive transfer of better livelihood.

I think massive outsourcing means massive credits, foreclosure, bankruptcies.

[alfatourist]

Vote for a candidate who is going repeal tax savings to corps who outsource.

I think reduced outsourcing will increase the tax base from increased income from salaries.

Also, massive outsourcing means outsourcing of massive amount of thinking process used in design & prodcution of results, software, prodcuts.

I think massived outsourcing also means massive transfer of innovation & development of knowldeged.

[alfatourist]

I think real education means maturity when you really understand what is good for you & your country.

I think the reason Americans are possessed by leaders with bad policies is because the masses despite their high school or college education don't really understand what is good for them.

They simply climb the banwagon, where they see glamour or glitter.

[d3adpixel]

Despite, or because of?

Public education is a tool for indoctrination and disinformation. If we had been taught the truth in history class, we would not be so complacent about what is happening today.

It is no accident that Americans are ignorant and jaded. We were taught to be this way, and we learned well.

If Americans became educated, the CFR agenda would fail.

[alfatourist]

Virtual occupation of American livelihood is not being checked & continually bringing down the middle class and making the rich richer & poor poorer.

Massive unidirectional Outsourcing of skilled jobs is evidently unnatural international business lifestyle.

[alfatourist]

& the treasury is on life support by foreign countries. Millions of middle class Americans are spending from their equity or savings or unsecured credit cards to keep up with their living standards.

This spending reflects big on GDP & gives a false impression of a strong economy.

It does not indicate the true state of the middle class livelihood.

[alfatourist]

By virtual occupation I mean effectively, not real. By virtual occupation I mean not real, but that what displays the full qualities of the real.

What are you going to call business that involves unidirectional transfer of skilled livelihood from a rich country to several millions educated in a different country who desperately need most of your skilled jobs?

The answer is OUTSOURCING.

It is a band aid mechanism of jobless economic recovery when the debts run in trillions.

[alfatourist]

Outsourcing is like virtual occupation of a country without armed agression.

[BetterThanUForSure]

American companies suppose to give back to the society , the American society through jobs specially. What happenned to that?

[kirkifer]

Interestingly enough, Bush and Co., Haliburton and who knows have moved their operations to Dubai.

Beat them at their game. Quit buying useless crap objects that you just do not need in your life.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

(To paraphrase the narrator) "Perhaps outsourcing will become the new American economic system". Yes. Only if the USD (at this point a piece of paper backed by nothing) maintains it's illusion of value. But this will not happen. It will only be a matter of time before other nations wake up to the con and the game is over. You cannot just sit back like the man in the video and produce nothing and expect others to do all the work.

[shetty09]

Welcome to the concept of globalization. Goodluck

[kirkifer]

Right on! How many people say, "Outsourcing is a great thing... We are now a service economy." Just wait it will be very different in the next 50 years. Look at the robber barons to see what is going on. These folks are looking for cheap no matter what it means.

[SmokescreenNinjaz]

yep, i smell something fishy here, and it's not arsenic laden chinese food.

[Herceg8]

When was the last time anyone bought an renault or alfa-romeo car in America. This is a two way street, not one way.....

[Brawk]

Sadly, this has become the American way! What a heartbreaker! Don't the powers that be see the ramifications of this even 20 years down the road? Fire the administration and put real Americans in the White House!

[kirkifer]

The powers that be are responsible for this.

You and everyone reading this are the powers that be. If the people are willingly led to slaughter, then slaughter it will be.

[vikramrao57]

When was the last time anyone bought an RCA or Zenith over a Sony or Toshiba ?

[Utahmikey]

Just so you know, RCA and Zenith are no longer American companies.

[texansis66]

Every dollar spend on outsourcing equals 25cent in lost taxes and 75cent in lost consumer spending, and zero dollars for the american people.

[Renegen1]

I think this video is worthwhile, outsourcing security jobs? How stupid is that. That should never never happen. The politicians also have sold american short. It is about money, that's business, but government is supposed to put their COUNTRY first, money second.

[ullas1975]

These guys needs to learn basics of economics

[acatincho]

What people like the one who created this video do not understand is what companies really want is to get the job done in a timely fashion, and belive it we can do it :)

[Crimsonking2006]

acatincho,Outsourcing sucks. You like it, good for you. I got my BS in electrical engineering last year. I have not been able to find my first entry level position. I'm talking entry level jobs here, where you don't have to have lots of experience. Sikorski outsources many engineering design jobs. Tell me this, does outsourcing benefit American engineers like myself, the ones fresh out of college?

[acatincho]

The problem is not the outsourcing, the problem is the companies prioritize money over people.

[Crimsonking2006]

How so?

[acatincho]

Outsorcing is just a way of doing things is not the only way but is the way that many American companies are taking. I know is obusly not a benefit to young people as you but is probably the cheapest for the companies and they will take it because of that. Is not related with contries is related with money, a companie doesnt care if the work is done by an amaerican or not just care about profit and nowadays the profit is to hire India, Brazil, Argetina,etc

[deligthelf]

THeres away to get them to understand our way or the fireing line.

[AceOfSpade1234]

You can go one further and say Government prioritize Fortune 500 over everything else.

[kirkifer]

I hear Wal-Mart is hiring, something about peddling cheap foreign crap. Yes, it is not what you envisioned, just make sure you pay your student loans back... The international bankers need your sweat so they can buy more toys.

Hey Ullas1975, tell all of us college graduates the the basics of economics. We seem to have missed those lectures.

[PolandSoldOutInYalta]

the politicians are paid puppets. what is good for them is not good for the working people. fuckin traitors! they d suck devils dick for more dollars.
