Outsourcing of a Different Kind

This was printed yesterday in the Marietta GA Daily newpaper. Something
interesting to consider.

 

"In what may be the ultimate in outsourcing, the value of U.S. companies
acquired by firms based in India increased by more than 250 percent last
year to $1.1 billion, reports Inc. (February), For reference, the total
value of all U.S merger and acquisition activity last year topped $700
billion. "Generally speaking, Indian companies are acquiring U.S. firms to
be closer to their stateside customers and to gain access to capital
markets," the small-business magazine says.

 

Reflecting on this article made me think of my Dad telling me that "if you
can't beat them then join them, and also I remember when the Japanese were
going to buy out Hawaii - that didn't happen but in this case I can see a
pressure for more H1 Visa. Call you Congressman and let them know how you
feel about that situation or we will all be picking up garbage for a living.
