more evidence of damage to the economy from outsourcing of American jobs
Posted on | April 7, 2013 | 6 Comments
I am working with network solutions for hosting
I have several sites. Network solutions, as other computer companies used to employ American workers. Now, every time I call, I get someone from the Philippines. the reps simply read from a script and it is hard to understand them. typically the employees in those third world countries like China, India and Philippines are paid $1 per hour. Companies used to pay lower fees, however after large providers like Network Solutions destroyed the U.S. market, they started raising fees. Recently I paid over $1,400 for the support, however every time I need support, they state that it is additional and charge $99. So, at the of the day outsourcing of American jobs did not trickle down to the consumer, but hurt American workers.

Wow! Geez, Orly…I can’t believe how much they charged you ($1,400) to work with them; then, charge AGAIN, when you need further help? They sound like a money-making machine!!! I think they should be able to NOT CHARGE, after paying ONCE! They don’t sound like a trustworthy company!
………
And now I know why we have been having so much trouble with your site: cause they either can’t do something? or they are taking advantage of you and don’t want to solve this with your site?! (As I mentioned in an email, that they wouldn’t answer any of my questions, even after you had already written to them!)
………
Is this normal charging for other hosting companies, when a customer needs further assistance with a tech problem? I wonder if we need to discuss this with a BBB and/or the AG for that state they’re in? Would a law suit straighten them out? Holy, Outsourcing, Batman!

This makes since because a lot of people have problems with postings not posting.
Seems like the crazyy postings make it but those who support orly seem to have a lot of problems.
I’ve posted several times recently but the did not go through…

Dr. Taitz.
By and large I can’t think of a single thing I would usually agree with you upon.
When it comes to outsourcing though, I tend to agree though. While it became a major campaign issue in 2004, it’s been going on since the late 80’s under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Particularly in the IT and technology industries, but across the board in other parts of the economy.
Some companies (GE and Apple come to mind) are starting to realize it actually costs more in the long run to have their equipment made in China (particularly with the intellectual properties theft endemic in that country), and are starting to bring those jobs and items back to the United States. It’s going to take a long time for the trend to reverse itself, but the tide is turning.
When corporations are willing to pay their workers a living wage to make their products, the end result is a middle class with the disposable income to be consumers, which in turn grows the economy across the board. All outsourcing does in the long run is depress wages, depress the economy, stagnate the marketplace, and depress the country.
If we want a robust capitalist economy, the jobs and industry needs to be here in the United States. Outsourcing is a bleeding economic wound in the lifeblood of this country.
For once, we’re in agreement on something. Further proof there is always a middle road.
Sincerely
Patrick McKinnion
