ve spent way too much time this morning overhearing people obsess over how their jobs will be lost to India. It seems to be a really prevalent paranoia here.
It's only paranoia if it isn't true. I handed over one of my books to an Indian writer last year. He makes a sixth of my salary. A sixth. We have a big Indian development center, and I don't see it getting any smaller. The next round of layoffs we have, I expect to see a lot of cost-shifting from expensive U.S. writers to cheaper Indians.
If we compete solely on price, I can't, it's that simple. A lot of textile workers and furniture makers are laughing and saying "Suck it up, white-collar girl!"
It's only paranoia if it isn't true.
Honestly? I think they're more at risk from H1B guys than from outsourcing proper. That's why I call it paranoia.

Re Joanie Laurer, I think she left with a fractious relationship to WWE so they didn't permit her to use the name. Actually, I'm just guessing this.

I want a buddy movie.

They are my dream cast for a remake of Tango and Cash.

I don't know your line of business. In my business, if you can telecommute, you can be replaced by somebody in India. My husband's startup is doing most of its hiring in India, and the paper says that venture capitalists are pressing most startups to do the same.

It would have to be Vin, as in my head he is taking over the Kurt role.
I am on hold with a Beverly Hills Dr. which makes me laugh on it's own, but the hold music is swing music which makes me laugh and I'm not sure why.
