Outsource CEO's.

Think how much companies will save by not paying their fat American a$$e$.

Why, I'll bet for everyone of those CEO's making a hundred million a year, there's probably a dozen equally smart Indians who'd stand in line to do that job for 50K a year.

You clearly don't understand business. One of those "smart Indians" could be paid a salary equal to the old CEO and they still wouldn't be able to do the job -- you apparently don't understand what it is they actually do for the company. CEOs aren't really hired for their intelligence or arguably even their vision, and for better or worse, many of those CEOs who command 8-figure salaries and such give better than that in ROI. Not all of them, but many of them.

We've hired top-shelf MegaCorp CEOs to run companies that I've built. Worth every penny more often than not. At the end of the day a business is all about ROI because without it you have no business, and the more assets you can bring into the picture with positive ROI for the company (be it quality CEOs, IP, or whatever) the better it is for the company.

Aside from all this, the outsourcing bogeyman is greatly overblown. Only very small portions of high-tech business can be outsourced with any benefit, and the industry has a lot of experience with it to know what works and what doesn't. Things will no more be outsourced now than they were ten years ago. It is just a current fixation in the media. Most of the jobs that were outsourced have been being outsourced for ages and are the crappy jobs in high-tech. The good (and high-paying) jobs aren't going anywhere.
