Unless the knowledge outsourcing of core materials, is through regulated and integrated universities under UNU, the global conflicts on nuclear science and the socio economic chaos cannot be prevented.

"Unless the knowledge outsourcing of core materials, is through regulated and integrated universities under UNU, the global conflicts on nuclear science and the socio economic chaos cannot be prevented."

That's a pretty intense conclusion from what seemed to be a somewhat babbling exposition.

I have to regard it as one person's conclusion and choose to hold an opinion until more evidence is at hand. BTW; I assume that "core materials" was not referring to nuclear technology matters.

I'm not really sure what UNU actually stands for.

What the heck does nuclear stuff have to do with the business decision-making process? blink.gif There is more to life, you know...

What a bunch of bullshit to get you to think that outsourcing is a good idea.

Outsourcing causes the LOSS of AMERICAN JOBS!!!

Instead of paying Joe $80,000 a year with benefits, we get Mr. Chin to do it for $10,000 a year and no benefits. Any company would be stupid to pass up that deal... but it hurts our economy in the long run.

LOL.. I agree with you Joe but you have your answer in your comment. No company would be stupid enough to lose out on such an attractive deal. And let me clear your misconception. No company in US gives a damn about how it affects your economy. Welcome to the bog bad SELFISH globalized world.

Republican War on Skilled Workers

Their war has been ongoing at least since the 1980s when foreign nurses were dumped en mass on the workforce. Government intervention into a free market in misguided attempt to affect the price of a good.

As popular economist Thomas Sowell would say "what labor shortage?" "At what price?"

The misguided result of the Republican War on Skilled Workers is an interventionist, artificial, undersired decline in computer science college majors of 60%!

Wow! Bill Gates is now pissed off. But Gates and his free market hating corporate hacks have only themselves to blame as this artificial labor shortage has the reverse effect of increasing the price of labor.

Global American
Why are the jobs American? If we cannot compete cost effectively, they are not our jobs. If we cannot adapt our workforce to provide other, higher value-added work then people will be impacted. When Detroit turned out poor quality cars and foreign competitors beat us on price and quality there was the same rhetoric. The reality is that our workforce, and students preparing to enter the workforce, needs to constantly improve what they do and build their careers.

The ironic lesson from the current situation is that the Detroit area is now a hub for innovative design and product development in the auto industry. Asian car/truck manufacturers have established big design centers in Michigan to vertically integrate this talent. If help desk and programming jobs are being distributed to lower cost centers, then smart people should focus on architecture, design, analysis and other business-aligned activities. Moreover, 100% of jobs in a given sector never move. The lower performers, however, find themselves looking for work with few prospects for re-hire.
