To get a better sense of what I'm saying take a look up the coast at all of the new Fortune 500 (or 50!) companies being created - the companies that will displace those existing - and see where they're hiring and where their core infrastructure is. Extrapolate out 100 years and think of where the power center of US will be in terms of company creation. Over the long term, "outsourcing" becomes irrelevant and strategic sourcing becomes paramount. The outsourcing craze is the winding down of the industrial revolution and an attempt to keep margin where no margin is to be had. That's why outsourcing usually doesn't work. US companies will morph to services companies or they will die. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337928 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
