I wasn't sayin that it was funny because I was trying to be insulting. I thought that it was funny because the text book example of outsourcing is Wal-Mart. It is WHY truckers don't have the representation. If the #1 company in our country and in our economy is outsourcing jobs, and someone wants to defend the company that is costing the truckers' jobs, it is kind of ironic and funny. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone here.
Explain to me how outsourcing and manufacturing goods overseas costs trucker jobs? Those goods made elsewhere don't magically appear in stores by themselves now do they? Last time I checked, teleportation was just a Star Trek fantasy, those goods have to get from the ship to the store somehow. If anything, outsourcing makes more trucking jobs.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about my job at Wal-Mart being outsourced, a guy living in India can't stock the shelves or run a register in NM.
