This is why our economy is shit. Outsourcing diverts attention, though it is occurring, you have to understand that word implied a context designed to imprison you. What I mean is simple. The companies "outsourcing" would like you to think that this is some inevitable set of circumstances they can't afford else they'll fail to make a profit. This is not true. Whats happening is that import tax laws are being made, used, and circumvented very strategically to make it so that they can get their products cheaply. If we enforced an increased import tax from China, Taiwan, and Mexico etc, our economy would boom. Instead these people are setting up courts and legal processes preventing most Americans from getting access to those chinese manufacturers without paying a huge 27% import tax.



I think that English, being a superior language, will over course continue to prevail more so even than now as the worlds most spoken language. More on this if you'd like... when you get back from work.
