    Default US employee 'outsourced job to China'

    Why does anyone make an internets clan? There is no material advantage to it. We get no money from it, no resources, nothing tangible at all. Perhaps it is a longing for identity, a sense of belonging, and shared values, the very things that have been destroyed by the scourge of liberal-capitalist individualism. Perhaps we all secretly desire to pwn peoples' faces and flame them afterwards. Perhaps a trollface.jpg lurks within all our hearts. Perhaps it is all of those things. It is possible to perceive similarities between the growth of clans and the post-war rise in football fan clubs, new age cults, and religious fundamentalism. As our leaders neglected collectivist concepts like "the nation" and encouraged capitalist individualism and atomistic self-interest, we looked to other forms of collective identity to fill the void. And that, perhaps, is what the TW community really is. A haven of camaraderie and collectivism in a self-interested, materialist and individualistic world.

    That is absolutely hilarious. The only way to solve this problem in the future is to nuke China.

    Before this thread gets closed due to lack of topic issues, I find it amusing that the news piece makes no mention on whether the Shenyang company is still doing the work for 1/5th of what they were paying the employee.

    Something out of office space.

    Before we sent the low skill job to china, now we are also outsourcing the knowledge economy over there. And they are doing an excellent job at that for a 1/5 of the price. Those of you who are studying or just left university, good luck !!!

    fear is helluva drug
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    “The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." freakin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.” WWZ

    Have you had your daily dose of fear yet? craziii

    His company will probably do this with his job anyway in a few years, he was just jumping the gun.

    Thread closed. The OP offers insufficient basis for a discussion.
