Then the greedy CEO's decided they could hire ten idiots from india to replace one top notch programmer like me. <BR/><BR/>I went from making the big bucks to making almost no bucks. I survived and now I am setting pretty. But I never forgot the sell out.<BR/><BR/>I also walk out of places that have people who can't speak ENGLISH. I tell india fools who call me to take the shit of their mouths and speak English. They normally hang up. <BR/><BR/>I try to avoid doing any business with anyone who doesn't hire American. Can't always do it, but if I don't absolutely need it, I refuse to patronize any Anti-American company that hires H-1b's or has call centers outside <BR/>of America.Sunfighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986351460726244931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-87915630034947757902009-02-25T01:03:00.000-08:002009-02-25T01:03:00.000-08:00The PC idiots burned out "racist" a long time ago,...The PC idiots burned out "racist" a long time ago, they have now turned it into a badge of the wounded like the purple heart, when 90% of your unit gets hit you no longer look at the brand with the same value.<BR/><BR/>They have hit about 90% at this time and it is about to turn ugly.<BR/><BR/>Open your eyes, see the real world, it is not pretty or fair - tough...Radio Blogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816224325858221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-78746102657777908632009-02-24T20:28:00.000-08:002009-02-24T20:28:00.000-08:00...i shop at 'The Pig',i do my damndest to buy loc......i shop at 'The Pig',i do my damndest to buy locals' produce,in season,in area...i go out of my way for 'mom-n-pop' shops,local 'American' craftsman/woman when needed...i try to make it 'MadeInUSA' as much as humanly possible...<BR/><BR/>...i like to think it makes a differance,it offers some comfort to my soul...Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559414057439356066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-18959203776084578162009-02-24T17:51:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:51:00.000-08:00Every day is like "Alice through the looking glass...Every day is like "Alice through the looking glass" more and more!

No reason not to extend that to other customer service venues...<BR/><BR/>As always, excellent beta, Brother. Keep plugging away!
