PLEASE! Stop confusing "outsourcing"-- which has been a common and
generally-accepted/acceptable business practice, probably since the
beginning of "business" ... with "OFFSHORING"!
There is a WORLD (so to speak) of difference between "OUTSOURCING"
versus "OFFSHORING" -- which is what has been done to low-wage,
politically-powerless U.S. workers/jobs for several decades.
But such offshoring has now started to hit middle-income,
well-educated, politically-aware U.S. [former] workers and their jobs
... and is fueling politicians' new-found worries about its extensive
inequities and abuses (working conditions, environmental, etc.).
