Global labor markets only work for the rich employers. Workers always lose.

None of us claim that. We understand that the world is a cesspool of overpopulation

The appeal to emotionalism here means nothing. I see no reason why any worker would
want more competition for their job. More competition means that:
* they have less job security
* they will have to accept worse pay and worse working conditions
* they will have to work harder to keep up

Explain to me why anyone besides corporate owners would be anxious for these things
to happen.

This is a method that a lot of pro industry advocates use to knock the credibility of
anyone that opposes them. They want the public to equate losing a job with being a
loser. That way they can pit the worker haves against the worker have nots. I hope
most people in these NGs are enlightened enough to understand why Viper and his
cohorts resort to these labels of being "a loser".

Dan, you are right on the button. I don't understand why American workers would
welcome competition from workers that earn 1/10 as much as they do. It's rather
obvious why corporate shills would want that to happen.

You are quite good at predicting the future of the American worker. The outlook is
very bleak.

If you think that you are 10 times more productive than the H-1Bs that will replace
you, than you are an arrogant fool. Enjoy you high salary while it lasts.

If American programmers are 3 times more productive, they will be screwed by the

No, it is not your country, not in the ownership sense. The United States is not a
communist state where the people collectively own everything. You are dead wrong.

Nope, they are nothing of the sort. You on the other hand, are a repeat liar.

Dan, I have a Master's Degree in Economics and did all the doctoral studies and
passed all the prelims for a PhD in economics (only lack finishing the dissertation),
so I know more about economics than you, by this logic. Based on what I know, you are
a fool in economic matters. Totally, utterly and completely.

Degree in business econ, my ass. Where'd you get that degree, Aruba State Offshore
Diploma Mill?

Coming from an idiot like you that is a compliment. Carlos ought to be worried if you
ever agree with him. That would be a sign he has erred.

Naw, let's just strip you naked, cover you with honey and then put you on top of an
ant's nest. Far more entertaining. Then let's hang you by your feet and use your
head for rotten-tomato target practice. After that we can go into your apartment
and watch your TV, wear out your VCR, fart in your fridge, and practice furniture
mutilation on your couch. All of this would of course be televisd for all of
America to enjoy. At least then you'd be of some use to the rest of us. Right now
we have no use for you on our soil.

Of course my suggestion is less extreme than yours, but then this is all moot
anyway, because there are excellent and well-thought-out protections afforded
our person and our property by a well-written legal document called the
Constitution, which I suggest you read, once you take the remedial reading
course that would require.

No, it is not. It is also is not being done either. American unemployment is very
low, thus it is obvious that there are not significant numbers of American workers
being replaced by foreign labor.

You have a small world view consisting of a few easily scuttled theories.
