Obama and his Restrictions on Outsourcing!
 |
We all know that Obama has made it clear that he is going to make restrictions on outsourcing businesses. If implemented then that means trouble for many countries that relies on outsource businesses like call centers and other businesses. Do you think it’s a sound decision made by him?

Tough luck. Obama is looking out for #1 (USA) not the world. We here in USA have long disliked outsourced call centers mainly because the person on the other end of the line can't speak English very well, or speaks with an accent that is difficult to understand.
So yes, I agree with Obama that outsourcing should be banned.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
He is looking more at government outsourcing -- just a quick example, the CBs (seabees) build a bridge for military pay-scale where KBR builds a bridge for cost + 10% (their cost which is not necessarily true cost). That means it actually pays for KBR to abandon a truck with a flat tire and buy a new one (cost +10%) than to guard the truck until repairs can be made.
Another example might be KBR employees installing the electrical for the USArmy - those contractors don't really care how well they do because, well - they don't live there but last count was that bad electrical installation has killed 17 soldiers (can you imagine having to worry about dying while taking a shower in the Green Zone after an 8 hour fire-fight?).
We may never know how much graft, corruption, and outright theft went on in Iraq because all the outsourcing contracts were no-bid, no oversight contracts.

No one died when Clinton lied.
I know what he meant - I was going on about what the president meant.

What is so constitutional about it?
May 'the Google' be with you!
