"A Long, Slow Curveball Right Over the Heart of the Plate"

At this point, I watched, re-watched, and tried to memorize this segment (at least the polling information!) and I can only hope it gets enough views to blow MSNBC's servers to heck.

It should be obvious to an American that putting all value into company stock makes the argument in favor of outsourcing logical and treats the VAST majority of Americans as slaves to that companies stock values which can only get higher by cutting costs.

Please realize that if you work for someone in America, you are a cost.  It's not nice and it doesn't even matter if you like your job (if you're lucky enough to currently have one!), someone overseas could do it cheaper.  If they can't do it cheaper over there, the pressure is on your boss to find one of your fellow Americans that will do it cheaper.

That's how far the current swing of the pendulum has gone in favor to business.

So watch this segment from TRMS last night and spread it around.

Please:

I can only hope (and pray to the FSM!) that people are paying attention...

(I was going to attempt to mp3 this segment for easier sharing but this laptop is apparently getting too old...)
