I Heard a Rumor

I heard very recently that a large corporate entity is making preparations to outsource one of their departments to India. It’s a department of office workers, cubicle residents, jobs that I have no doubt Indians can do and do well. And it’s not a customer service type thing so people won’t be able to make jokes about their accents. So, from a corporate point of view, I say, that is a viable solution. But then I think, what about the Americans who are about to lose their jobs? Did the corporate entity think about what those people would do after they got the heave ho?  Forget the illegal aliens coming in to the US to clean toilets and pick cotton. What do Obama, Clinton, McCain (and Nader, too!) have to say about moving American jobs overseas? How are they going to make it beneficial for companies to keep the jobs here? Maybe they’ve said and I haven’t heard.
