India: the new Mexico

[GT40FIED]

I don't mean they're crossing our borders illegally by the thousands...I mean they're getting so many of our jobs. When it was Mexicans coming here to work I didn't mind so much because people were bitching about them taking jobs they didn't want anyway...namely many manual labor jobs. But now our tech jobs go to India, of all places. Since when were they so much smarter than us? Hell...they think cows are sacred. I, on the other hand, think cows are delicious. But seriously...they've become our outsourced job destination of choice. But why (other than the fact that they'll work for $20/week). When you call for certain statewide information in Missouri, you talk to someone on the phone who's not in Missouri, but in India. What the fuck? Capitalism is fine and all...but this is just disgraceful. In Iraq, where Halliburton rules over all, 6 out of 10 Iraqi men are unemployed. But since Halliburton loves Iraq so much, they decided to employ many of them as contractors. Oh wait...no they didn't. They outsourced THOSE jobs working in Iraq to India too. Apparently if you can pay someone $5/week it's better than paying another person $10/week. If they want to move here and work here, great. Let's just not do their work for them. That's not capitalism...it's just out and out greed and it's horrendously shameful.
