the invisible/unknown future beneficiary
Read a thread - the future benefits turned out to be illusory.
[from FReepmail:] Anecdotes from a few loud-mouthed internet randos without an audience
As opposed to a a stealthy internet rando with a FReepmail audience of 1? LMAO!
vs. real numbers from corporate accounts clearly showing the benefits
Of course the payroll reductions are easy to measure; the decline in quality of output, less so but no less real.
Markets do respond - but they are not perfect and do not turn on a dime. I'm not calling for government micromanagement but for the broad policy of "hire American" that our President has proclaimed. And that policy is not for the purpose of running businesses better than they run themselves, but for preserving the robust middle class on which every modern society depends.
the general trend of the data (which is that these methods are profitable to the corporations to adopt and follow, and which they’ve adopted as a result).
I'd love to see some of that data - all I've seen from you so far is ivory-tower bromides about the market.
I am not the one quoting anecdotes - the ‘audience’ you refer to in my case is immaterial to the discussion at hand.
If one's audience is immaterial when not telling anecdotes, why is it material when one is?
Another bigmouth who's long on claims, but thinks it's MY job to do his homework. <yawn>
“The results and findings of this study indicate that offshoring has a significant negative effect on financial performance as measured by return on assets and net profit margin.” - Per Berthsson & Jean Gombya, “Offshoring and the effect on firms’ performance” (2014). http://lup.lub.lu.se/luur/download?func=downloadFile&recordOId=4461213&fileOId=4461257
“study results strongly support the theory that American firms can significantly improve performance by relocating manufacturing to the United States.” - Risher, Jeffrey J., “From Offshoring to Reshoring: A Conceptual Framework for Manufacturing Location Decisions in a Slow-Steam World” (2016). https://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/dba_etd/23/
Don't like my excerpts - post to the forum, coward.
Berthsson & Jean Gombya have “proof” that offshoring is a loss but nobody in the market wants to listen to them... clap! clap!
(Maybe we ought to mandate the market to follow these geniuses against the wisdom of corporations which have succeeded
They showed corporations haven't succeeded. But don't let facts get in the way of your windy rhetoric.
The benefit is to the consumer and the shareholder - their savings go toward investments in new businesses, which benefit Americans.
Well, isn't that special.
Indeed. The first thing you have to know about indian 'workers' is that they are culturally conditioned to be absolutely unable to say "no", or "I don't know". They will absolutely lie through their teeth when you ask them if they can do something. I've spent way too much time in my life dealing with this particular issue. The vast majority that I've worked with are nice folks and all, but are also pretty much incompetent unless you provide incredibly detailed instructions of exactly how a task is to be accomplished if it's not a simple boiler-plate thing that they have done hundreds of time. Asking them to think outside of the box is simply a waste of time.
