Another outsourcing example: When you take a commercial airline flight, the plane is actually being controlled from India by a ten-year-old girl, holding a remote-control joystick in one hand and a lollipop in the other. The "pilot" in the front of your plane is a retired security guard whose sole responsibility is to notice when the plane starts shaking and make an announcement that you are experiencing turbulence.

Another example of how outsourcing has changed our economy: When you go to the hospital for surgery, after the anesthesiologist puts you out, your body is... OK, you don't want to know. The point is EVERYTHING is being outsourced. In a few years, the only industry left in the United States will be "reality" television. A lot of people think this is bad. Congress recently tried to pass a law against outsourcing, only to discover that all federal legilation since 1997 has actually been produced in Taiwan.
:D

So, that's why they have so much time to act like jack-legs. :devil-smiley-1:
I think that Taiwan has contracted out all Federal Immigration Control Legislation to a legislation drafting company in Mexico, but it seems that the employees have been sneaking into the US for better paying jobs, so they have no one to draft anything. Congress is stalling by pretending to be debating a bill, but we know the truth.... :xxrotflmao:
