Re: FUNNY OFFSHORE STORY
So, nobody from outside the US buys anything from the US?
Not really... the trade deficit (which IT/tech writer offshoring is a tiny part of) is at new record every month: http://tinyurl.com/22asv
...and when the US does buy something from overseas, they charge us more: http://tinyurl.com/2hrde
Fellow armchair economists, hold your fire... there are also lots of other reasons for the trade deficit, but let's keep it offlist.
The way I understand it, those US cars that have improved their design
and so forth are enjoying greater sales. The free market forced them
to compete or die.
It depends... Chrysler was quite competitive, but not after Daimler got through with them... quality/competition was not an issue. I'm expecting any day now for big offshore IT firms to start buying up troubled US IT companies on the cheap.
