OK, Stephen Joseph, Mr. smarty-pants, here's why my old man (an old-school union guy) thinks of your "outsourcing."
(The following is a true story that happened at Christmas, 2003)
So the old man called me at Xmas and after all that "Merry Christmas" crap was out of the way he began saying what he always says: "Nobody's working. All the jobs are gone." Except this time he added something new. "Nobody was buying this Christmas season." When I informed him that holiday spending rose he said, without missing a beat, "That's because the weatherman on TV told everyone that this was going to be a bad winter and for everyone to go out and do their Christmas shopping early. Now everyone did all their shopping and there was no snow, so now nobody has any money to buy anything."
Sure he's completely out of his mind, but he's my dad and I only have one of him (thank god)...
