1. So Obama and Edwards SHOULDN'T have campaigned for the

paper's endorsement, right?

[antigop]

2. Answer the question. n/t

[antigop]

3. And thank you for kicking the thread. Now more people can see the videos. n/t

[amandabeech]

4. No one is sending their jobs to India, so why should they care?

Of course the candidates wanted their endorsement.

However, the plight of computer techs and scientists probably isn't on their radar.

[antigop]

5. It's not just computer techs and scientists who have lost jobs to outsourcing. n/t

6. Outsourcing hits a new class of workers: journalists

http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/11/19/business/outsource.php

The rush of job recruiting ads on MonsterIndia.com tells the story of the latest class of workers to watch their trade start migrating to another continent.

"Urgent requirement for business writers," reads one ad looking for journalists to locate in Mumbai. "Should be willing to work in night shifts (UK shift)."

Another casts for English-speaking journalists in Bangalore with "experience in editing and writing for US/International Media."

Remote-control journalism is the scornful term that unions use for the shift of newspaper jobs to low-cost countries like India or Singapore with fiber-optic connections transmitting information all around the world.

But the momentum for "offshoring" to other countries or outsourcing locally is accelerating as newspapers small and large seek ways to reduce costs in the face of severe stresses, from sagging circulation and advertising revenue to shareholder pressure.

7. They've already replaced US govt. with BFEE/Dubai's ruling elite - Global fascism

Just as planned since the last 50 years. The only real stumble in their journey was when that darn Kerry uncovered IranContra and BCCI operations. The global fasism would have been in place for ten years by now but for the interference of Kerry.

[antigop]

8. Didn't Kissinger refer to NAFTA as part of the New World Order? n/t

[blm]

9. Poppy Bush referred to New World Order at least 40 times in speeches.

But mention it to some Dems and get accused of being a conspiracy theorist.

[amandabeech]

10. I'm curently doing temping.

In New York, the work is being sent to India.

I hope that I'm out of the field before it hits me, but I can see it coming.

Basically, the only jobs that are safe from outsourcing are those that require face-to-face contact, like cutting hair or fixing cars. Of course, both can be in-sourced and there are lots of immigrants doing both for cheap. Fixing cars seems to be in the lead, however. Making a living cutting hair seems to require the ability to gab in the language of the customer about things that are important to that customer. It's more culturally sensitive. Car fixing requires a little less personal contact.

Why chief execs aren't outsourced to India, I don't know. Someone with an Indian background is now head of Citibank (or one of its rivals). Wouldn't it be cheaper if he just took the whole operation to Bangalore or Mumbai? Enquiring shareholders want to know!

19. Make sure you send links to these videos to everyone you know. n/t

[amandabeech]

20. Most people I know just laugh at me when I try to talk about this stuff,

even the ones that understand that I could be in trouble. They just don't get it.

I've been trying since the '70s. It's hard to keep up the effort. Folks just simply do not care.

[antigop]

22. They'll care when they lose their jobs...... n/t

[amandabeech]

23. Like most people, they think that they are untouchable. n/t

[antigop]

24. Amazing, isn't it? I'd send the links anyway. If they want to ignore them, it's their choice.

At least you will have warned them.

[K Gardner]

11. Too substantive.. you won't get an answer from HRC supporters here..

because its hard to argue with facts, or calls "facts" names.

[antigop]

18. Heaven forbid we should discuss policies. n/t

[annie1]

12. i was researching the h1b visas last night. It's gonna hurt her in the general i think

[papau]

13. L-1 and Nafta & special treaty rules add to problem - but Senate Bill not a problem if rules were

inforced on preference for Americans meaning all Americans offered job refused - they advertise in tiny paper, get no response - and claim need.

[antigop]

15. Remember the video about the law firm advising companies on how NOT to hire US workers? n/t

[papau]

25. Yes - I saw the suggestions in action in a few companies - you get angry but can do nada

[antigop]

26. I can vote for people who aren't corporatists. n/t

[antigop]

27. I can refuse to support the Democratic Leadership Corporation candidate n/t

[antigop]

28. And I can educate as many people as possible by posting links to the videos n/t

[David Dunham]

14. Hillary is going to win now. Bye, bye Barackies

[antigop]

16. So who is a "Barackie"? n/t

[K Gardner]

21. Anyone who, for any reason, supports anyone other than Hillary.

[antigop]

17. I wouldn't want to be a journalist at the Des Moines Register....

[paulk]

29. Republican asswipe Lou Dobbs trashes a Democrat and

I'm supposed to care?

[antigop]

30. So what in the videos was not true? n/t

[paulk]

33. his entire premise?

his right wing xenophobic POV?

his obvious bias?

[antigop]

35. And the video of Hillary was false, too? n/t

[antigop]

36. Nice try. He has covered the decline of the middle class for quite some time. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

31. My DSL line is down at home

when I heard the paper endorsed Hillary, I swear I could hear the heads exploding WITHOUT a computer.

[Beacool]

37. Don't you know?

Hillary is not allowed to have any supporters. I guess we should all follow the same drum beat and vote for whoever Oprah has anointed.

[laureloak]

32. DM Register endorsement = Kiss of Death n /t

[Lucinda]

34. It helped Edwards get to second place last time.

[antigop]

38. Thanks for the kicks and recommendations. Nice to see there are people on DU who understand. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

39. Support of this practice is non-progressive and unconscionable.

Democrats who support job offshoring make me sick. For real. Destroying one middle class to lift another enhances nothing but rich bank accounts on both sides of the pond. Prices on toys and other worthless items may drop in the short term while necessities like education, housing, transportation, health care and such continually soar out of reach.
