"They" are going to have to shut the internet down eventually, I think. An informed population is not conducive to business-as-usual.
Yes. It's horribly complicated trying to figure out what's going on. I live in congressional progressive caucus (CPC) district, and they SEEM to stand for the average person, but the way they actually vote implies that they're all in cahoots with the Dem and Repub parties. They (the CPC) only vote "against" when it's sure that it won't matter how they vote. 90% of the time they'll vote in favor of total crap if push comes to shove. Gah.
SOPA,PIPA etctetra have been recommended...But shit never happens coz ppl always need freedom of speech.People who love emancipation never get held by any shackles...The Internet revolution will continue to prosper
SOPA and PIPA, etc will probably eventually pass, I think. I'm cynical. I think extreme wealth rules the world. And the super-wealthy don't want people like you and me coordinating.
U aint cynical...It s a fact evrything of that sort wil pass with time..Wealthy and those in authority might try to keep uo mouth shut so that their conspiracies dont leak out..Yah i said leak out ...ppl know bout it ..They just dont want evryone to realize it so that it becomes a fuss and matter of concern.
I hope someone saved me popcorn LOL I see I miss all the good stuff when I go away for a day -le sigh-
"Leak out" indeed. http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Biolog...sConferences/TranscriptsMinutes/UCM056219.pdf Here's one example: Later:
I read this article. All it says he wants to end tax breaks to companies that outsource work. Nothing about banning it v
Outsourcing won't be banned, ever (not that it was even implied in the article), because you can outsource within the same country. To be quite honest, I think that ANY country should not give financial help to companies that get cheap labor outside of their own country. Even without cutting off tax breaks and/or funding, I think the tide of overseas outsourcing is turning - not because of backlash, but because of the quality of what is received. A doctor I know outsourced his medical transcription for, what he puts it "a long month" to an overseas company that specialized in medical transcription. He said the entire month of notes was garbage, and it was clear that the company was hiring people with no medical knowledge, much less a knowledge of English, despite their claims that they only hired people with a certain high level of English and a medical background. The frustrations of people dealing with sub-par overseas call centers and other overseas companies are the number one problem. It's not an anti-foreign issue. I know more than a few who aren't even US born (specifically India and Philippines) who are the most vocal against overseas outsourcing. To quote a friend who lived in India until he was 15, "it's as if they hire any idiot who can count to 1 in English, give them an American name and pass them off as fluent". The ones who are fluent and knowledgeable aren't going to work for these companies, because these companies are not paying them enough to live. So the result is a bunch of crap because someone is busy saying "Yeah! Me speak English!" and pretending that they can adequately perform functions in a foreign language instead of attempting to get to that better level first.
There is nothing to be curious about ...My statement means that as far as the statistics goes a big workforce of Mturk belong to India...If they decide not to axept new workers from outside U.S. thats comprehensible if they mean no more money outflow or outsourcing or wutteva in this fashion...but if they decide to exile the existing Indian workers from Mturk they are soon gonna go short of workers as many requesters work wud not get done on time as they expect and evrything wud just strt piling up.. To be stated I am not makn judgement on this neither do I belv Amazon has any such intentions..It was for those who say no more Indian/Non-US turkers.All my opinion goes with the fact that India is the only non-US nation that gets paid in cash and as we all know there is a reason behind evrything that happened or happens P.S. ~~ Plain comments nothing in disguise
I get what you're saying, but I don't think that is the case. The work would still get done by US workers, if it is worth doing. The cheapo requesters like Oscar Smith would be shit out of luck, but not the honest, legitimate requesters.
