I can applaud Ed on this one. <g> It's not a level playing field, and
telling the US IT worker that he can't make above $20/hr because our
good brothers overseas work for that or less is horseshit. Any company
that sells out its workforce for a cheaper buck overseas should have
some sort of responsibility to help fill the void he left behind in
their nation's economy. That line about "we're only responsible to the
stockholders" should be a crime, punishable by listening to Steve
Ballmer and his marketing pitches for Winbloze.
