Every time people bring up an issue that is affecting their life and indirectly the lives of others, some people call it whining. If we do not bring up these issues, how do we expect to resolve them. I for one have no regrets about leaving the tech industry that I've been in for 20 years. I'll start a route delivering potato chips, coach my son's baseball team and lead a normal life. The real question is not about whining or about my job or my life; it's about this country becoming dumber and dumber by the minute. We have outsourced everything. Technology is in it's infancy and if we outsource this, we are outsourcing the very guts of the future economic growth in this country. Believe me, nobody is whining here!
When other countries learn our business through our technology, what will stop them from setting up shop in their own countries? Let's think clearly here, by giving away technology, we are not giving away mundane jobs that require no skill, we are giving away the very structure and building blocks of our economy. Think about it!

The good old USA
What ever happened to the good old U.S.A. ? A place where you can work hard in a good job with benefits. You would build seniority and you had a pension that you felt comfortable retiring with.
It seems that these days are long gone. In America, we are guaranteed nothing. People from other countries are raping this country of everything it has. They know how to work our government better than normal taxpaying Americans could ever imagine.
Today people don't have to come into our country to take from it. Everyday good paying jobs are moved overseas for the sake of what is perceived as a better profit. When you look at the loss of productivity and the time it takes to train people overseas, I don't think these companies are saving as much as they think. Plus with less jobs in the U.S. , these companies will one day find that they saved a couple of bucks but lost billions in lost revenue from people who used to have well paying jobs and that were buying their products and services.
What ever happened to those good old days? I don't want to act like a protectionist and I know we live in a global economy, but I think the American dream still stands. We have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, nowadays the pursuit is a lot less cheaper in India.
