Maybe it's time we boycott

Maybe it's time we boycott. How many jobs can we afford to lose to other countries? This can't continue after all it's our jobs that we must protect. Such would be difficult to do due to price differences and availability. Anything worth while to protect has it's cost.

I agree

I'm in complete agreement with you.

Oh, get over it!

In Canada, we have had to put up with US based customer service for the past 25 years. Did you us complaining about? If you want to sell your goods and services in international markets, then be prepared to compete. What a bunch of crybabies!

How 'bout - Get with it!

The market is changing. It's going to happen. Any effort to slow or divert it will fail.
It's time to get with it. This is, for some areas of the world, helping to develop the global economy and, for the countries who are outsourcing, maturing their economies and their part in the world economy.
For this whole issue you gotta look broader than the shifting of jobs. Sure, some are loosing jobs. These people need to look broader for their own careers as well. Broaden your knowledge/education and experience and there are PLENTY of opportunities.
