You and your ilk always blame others. That’s your MO. That is what most of the cr@p on this forum is.
Re-read your post - you just blamed “fs” because they had a different opinion than you, accused/blamed them for “parroting whatever the media feeds them”, accused/blamed them for their “blind obedience is exactly why we’re in this mess”.
You are just parroting what you hear.
Answers typically are found somewhere in the middle but you pounce with 100% certainty. Just as “fs” did.
The plywood that your pedestal was built on has termites.
You’re not interested in (and I’m guessing capable of) having an adult conversations unless your sound bite arguments are agreed to by others.
All the tech bosses are lining up for favors. This outsourcing bill has a huge chance to push through. Vamos!

Globalism was created for corporations. It was Bill Clinton who initiated it. It has nothing to did with skills or workforce. It’s stickler a maneuver to allow corporations to make more money.
When you have enough Mo way to lay lobbyist and make major donations to political campaigns, then you will have your say.
In the end, It doesn’t matter anyway, AI will ultimately take the most jobs from countries all over the world. Poor will be the standard of living.
@j6 Please elaborate- what did I say that is not true? WHO am I blaming? I have eyes, ears, and a brain and can think critically and for myself. I am not a sheep nor do I need to be a parrot for anyone.
Put my big boy pants on? Seriously??
Get out of here with your childish nonsense. Adults are having a conversation.
Sounds like you are just parroting what you hear in your “media”.
Put your big boy/girl pants on, think for yourself already and stop blaming others.
@fs YOU are the problem. Typical sellout, pushing the line that Americans aren’t smart enough. Wrong. We have the talent right here, but traitors like you would rather hand it away. Don’t pretend the pop-up coding mills overseas and even popping up in our American strip malls are producing anything better than what our universities can. You parrot whatever the media feeds you, and that blind obedience is exactly why we’re in this mess. People like you disgust me.
At the end of the day, we still have a massive wealth gap in this country (and globally). Outsourcing and H1Bs did not drive that.
Point the spotlight on that and the underlying drivers.
@fs that is a defeatists attitude speaking. Regardless of foreign legal maneuvering, the truth is our politicians have levers to pull, but the problem is they refuse to do it. Case in point, how many times has our government offered to repatriate their offshore stockpile with tax breaks. At the end of the day, we just need politicians that are willing to put these corporations nuts in a vice and SQUEEZE. These corporations are traded on an American stock exchange, it’s time to penalize the shareholders for the bad behavior that these corporations partake in. It has always been the American policy to financially penalize countries that fund bad behavior , it’s time we take a similar approach on corporations that are acting in bad faith. The general working class stuff can not keep carrying the tax burden just so we can make shareholders feel better. Most of these shareholders are companies like BlackRock anyway. The retail stock trader is a very small percentage anyway. Long gone is the day where mom and pop held a few shares of GM thinking it was going to be their retirement.
@fs
You don't have to be scared with change. I'm sure the outsourcing crackdown will be of the same intensity and unpredictability as the current illegal migrant deportation activities. This is what we voted for.
Never forget how much funding is spent on political campaigns and how little is spent on American citizens.
Outsourcing wouldn't be an issue if Americans worked more and complained less.
You are delusional.
You claim ...hundreds...thousands....Source/s???
Whenever I end up with India based customer care, I always ask to get forwarded to US CC. Can't get a clue with what they're saying...
Whatever happened to your “needs of the business” argument? What about free, open markets? Only applies against RTO posts and other things you’re against?
Be consistent already.
Outsourcing will ma AT&T great again
Spoken like someone who’s bought the bumper sticker but skipped the receipts. America First sounds patriotic until you realize it’s been used to justify corporate billionaire tax cuts and trade wars that hurt small American business owners and workers more than help them. If globalism bled taxpayers, it was because we let billionaire corporations write the rules, not because cooperation itself is flawed.
Spoken like a true globalist that is ignoring "America First" ... Globalism had its shot, and it did nothing but bleed the American taxpayer .
@e1 "When critics claim Indian tech workers are destroying America they’re ignoring the real numbers and the real value: hundreds of billions in economic output, thousands of high-paying jobs, and a critical role in keeping U.S. companies globally competitive.
Let’s cut through the noise and call this what it is a paranoid, xenophobic racist rant dressed up as a policy critique."

This “bill” don’t even glimpse the surface of how telecommunications and technology companies are utterly destroying America with imported cheap two year migrant labor from India. This falls way short of exposing the exploitation of H1B’s and how these companies are using contracting companies to claim deniability. Look at the plant that just got raided in Georgia. The plant dodged accountability because it was cheap contract labor. This bill is a clear case of peeing on my leg and telling me to not worry because it’s just rain. We all know the contracting companies that T used to hide their labor practices while supporting communism. It’s laughable that the government thinks all their data is safe when ALL of the companies internal communications and messaging is handled by internal groups inside the Legg group who is ripe with newly appointed India management , just look at the internal communications. I’ve pointed this security hole to several leaders on the hill, so don’t think it’s going unnoticed . All these government first net and other government contracts are exposed by our OWN internal messaging and call routing groups. It’s completely laughable, and that is just one attack vector that I see. There are dozens of more and we all know it.
Thank god for Trump and Republicans.
America first.
Stopping outsourcing/offshoring can certainly minimize/reduce the damage.
OAN (One America News Network) has echoed broader conservative economic concerns by referencing analysis from Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi, who warned that nearly one-third of the U.S. economy is already in recession as of mid-2025
Watch less CNN...hahaha
Is it TDS? or is it hard economic reality based on facts?
Some states are already experiencing a recession, including West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Oregon, and Illinois.
The consequences of a recession include increased layoffs, hiring freezes, and a reduction in spending power.
TDS??
to the person in charge of our economy thanks for the incoming recession, record high inflation. massive layoffs in the millions.
We all know this bill stops way short of any meaningful goal of turning things around. This bone has zero meat on it . ZERO … It’s a complete JOKE ..
Stopping outsourcing/offshoring can certainly minimize/reduce the damage.
With 48 million jobs will be lost by 2028, according to current projections, can we honestly say that stopping outsourcing would be enough to reverse that tide; or are we missing the deeper forces at play?
Don’t give in friends . Ever since they forced me out four months before my rule of 75, I’ve worked around the clock to expose the H1B and off shoring exploitation to Congress. Do not use T directly. Refer to the problem as telecom and tech companies. Show them how broad this infiltration is. Show them that these companies are pushing out older skilled workers. This is all related to Stanley’s goal of replacing older skilled workers with cheap two year workers. Anyone who was on that all hands heard him say it outright. The H1B was never intended to be used to replace skilled labor. It was ONLY to be used to fill gaps where the US did not have skilled workers to fill a need. The labor statistic numbers are about to get really really bad, so it is going to be critical to frame this abuse correctly. By the end of Q1 2026, the unemployment numbers will be off the chart watch and see. This is the time to get ahead of the problem that the C-suite created. GET OUT IN FRONT .. You need to stalk every elected officials social media, and expose that is happening. You need to stalk every influencers profile, and post how off shoring and H1B use is being abused and has a 30 year history involving the communist sympathizer India. Take your time to articulate your story of what you experienced. I know a LOT of talented people in my org were chased off. These people were not seat warmers, these people were talented skilled labor who had quality time with a company. Let’s get on the ball as a team once again, and “EXECUTE THE PLAN” . I’ve been very transparent about my plan. What they offered me to leave was pathetic in relation to the money I saved this company over the years. This company has ZERO culture and will stab you in the back for a script reading drone from their center of excellence that will secretly sell your data in a heartbeat. That is this companies culture and legacy they have been chasing after and we all know it.
With 48 million jobs on track to vanish by 2028, according to current projections, can we honestly say that stopping outsourcing would be enough to reverse that tide; or are we missing the deeper forces at play?
“ even if outsourcing is stopped . those jobs are not coming back AI has taken or will take those jobs in less than 5 years.”
Only partially true, as those jobs that AI (abominable insidiousness) hasn’t yet take would return for the interim period.
Whomever is in charge of our economy thanks for the incoming recession, record high inflation. massive layoffs in the millions.
even if outsourcing is stopped . those jobs are not coming back AI has taken or will take those jobs in less than 5 years.
It’s a good start and needs to be done. I would support this no matter the party affiliation, this would be good for all American workers.
They never do anything that helps normal people. The lobbyists will make sure this doesn’t pass. If you people actually care about voting for people that act in your best interests, you will not vote for anyone that votes against this.
outsourcing bills and corporate politcal scapegoating are just surface level distractions. The real tectonic movement is AI quietly gutting the middle layers of white-collar work: analysts, coordinators, assistants, even junior creatives. It’s not just automation it’s cognitive displacement. AI doesn’t need to “outsource” when it can replicate decision making, generate reports, and even negotiate contracts. your politicians have sold you out to corporations and billionaires.
While Fox News presents itself as a news and commentary outlet, the network has been widely described by academics, journalists, and political figures as an entertainment network and a conservative political commentary channel rather than a traditional news organization. The network's conservative bias has been a subject of controversy, and its legal team's defense in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit argued that a reasonable person would understand its hosts' statements to be "loose, figurative or hyperbolic," suggesting a lack of adherence to factual reporting.
Bet the house payment this never gets out of committee. It is a pipe dream.
"lobbyist"
I am sure there are a lot of politicians that have "investments" overseas as well.
