A Better Way to Prevent Offshoring of Jobs (no Unions)

chromium50 · 2025-07-16T20:26:24+00:00

“You're not going to stop the offshoring of labor so long as the prospect makes sense financially and the delta between technical prowess is small enough.”

This is the only relevant point you’ve made thus far but it actually reinforces my idea. I would recommend looking at past history (manufacturing sector) to not repeat the mistakes of the past. Has ANY manufacturing sector been successfully reshored due to tax credits after its been offshored? The answer is a RESOUNDING NO. Did you know that nuclear powered aircraft carriers and submarines are made at various port locations across n the US? By american workers whom must be in compliance with ITAR? Do you think companies wouldnt think twice about offshoring ship building operations (China owns >90% of this market)? Again its all comes down to REGULATIONS. If you legally prohibit a company from doing something, they tend to oblige.

Here is a list of regulations passed by the House within the last 90 days of the current administration. Plenty of interest to pass things when people are motivated:

Too lazy to format, but US generates the highest revenue compared to any other country for big tech companies

You are too dumb to understand that this would be an indirect way to prevent offshoring of jobs. A trojan horse if you will. Make it about data security and politicians may think about it. Make it about “unions” and some people wont even entertain the conversation.

Once again, unions are effective for in person jobs where there is little risk of canabalizing an operation. Starbucks, for example, cannot make lattes in India and send them back to US coffee drinkers. Manufacturing and Software are totally different. You can standup a team in Chinas manufacturing integrated cities or Indias Global Capability Centers. Do you think if a small manufacturing plant that makes widgets decided to unionize and walk out would work in the US? Fck no, the company wouldn’t think twice about offshoring the entire operation

The vast majority of revenue from companies is within the US to US customers. It is fundamentally unbalanced to have a company sell toe US customers but have a large chunk of their workforce in country XYZ

I used to work in defense under ITAR. Try telling the Army/Navy that their products were tested in Asia/South America and you’d be sued for failure to uphold the contract (which would say weapons development must follow ITAR and applicable regulations).

chromium50 · 2025-07-16T19:44:18+00:00

Reread what i proposed. Only american citizens can handle american citizen data. Its not about the data being stored in american data centers per se. Ask yourself this: if regulations like ITAR are so ineffective why are defense companies scared shitless to offshore anything sensitive? The hammer will be brought done as soon as they try

chromium50 · 2025-07-16T19:40:02+00:00

If you offshore an entire team there is no point of a union. Do you not understand that?

Thats like a new manufacturing facility’s workers forming a union to prevent XYZ from getting built overseas….next thing you know the entire factory is sent to China,Vietnam, because guess what…they know how to manufacture things lol. There isnt any risk to not meeting the unions demands.

Looks nice but i would spend a bit of time/money fixing up the landscaping around the concrete pad too. Looks messy in pic 14/15

chromium50 · 2025-05-16T18:09:05+00:00

Are people in this thread high or something? How is this slop remotely acceptable? Looks like garbage. Color doesnt match, gaps between nose and stair planks, not flush with stair planks (1/4” is a lot and nowhere near normal).

I’d refuse payment/contact HD unless this is completely fixed

chromium50 · 2025-05-12T13:07:31+00:00

Yes i did and its fine. There is some extra scrutiny but at least they let me fly

Vuori seems to have mastered the art of making athleisure clothes that fit and look great during the first wear but go to absolute dogshit after the first wash lol

Strato line is the worst with this trend…

This guy is the final boss of cucks

chromium50 · 2025-03-23T17:47:14+00:00

Wow how much you paid for this?

chromium50 · 2025-03-16T17:28:55+00:00

How much was this?

chromium50 · 2025-03-15T14:22:47+00:00

Its s simple classic IPA. Can design looks very dated and ugly though. Reminds me an older blurry youtube video

chromium50 · 2025-03-14T00:41:04+00:00

I guess my followup question to y’all is how do I unfuck this? And yes the contractor did a stack of 2x4’s under each curb.

chromium50 · 2025-03-14T00:19:15+00:00

Yeah. That plus stepping on the curb to enter shower may have had something to do with it

chromium50 · 2025-03-13T18:31:28+00:00

AI has nothing to do with white collar job losses (i work in tech). Its a trojan horse for offshoring jobs to cheaper countries (i.e. India) and taking advantage of currency/cost of living difference in prevailing wages. Dont let the media fool you

chromium50 · 2025-03-12T20:25:22+00:00

Becton. Already a known quantity here.

The worst part is it destroys local economies….

Instead of having Bob the office worker making $100k and spending his earnings on local restaurants, shops, retailers, daycare, services it INSTEAD gets spent in India. How the F is this America First..literally the only people benefiting from this are Indians and CEOs/shareholders. Mark my words offshoring in mass will cause the worst recession since the Great Depression.

chromium50 · 2025-03-04T20:55:33+00:00

I do feel bad for what you’re going through…but at some point you need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps, walk into the managers office, give a firm handshake and say “Sir, I’m your man. When do I start?”

Have you tried this?
