To give the reader a little additional insight from the "real" world of IT outsourcing as an example, we have noted that many of the outsourcing contracts designed to eliminate IT infrastructure within the United States have themselves been outsourced, creating a long daisy-chain of outsourced accountability and responsibility that virtually guarantees that outsourced projects can no longer be effectively managed. Assuming that these infrastructures were actually required for an organization to do business in the first place, those infrastructures will have to be resourced back within the original organization at their original cost in addition to all those imaginary savings that were predicted when the "decision" was made to outsource the infrastructure in the first place. Time pressure being what time pressure is, a significant reduction in functionality will have to be accepted, with the final, net result of outsourcing and globalization being the doubling of infrastructure costs and the diminishing by at least half of the organization's original ability to conduct business.
If you are a modern organization that is looking to obtain a competitive advantage over your market, enter into that market with the human resources indigenous to the country you are conducting business from. In fact, enter into a market that relies on a lot of outsourcing outside of its country of operation and you will virtually guarantee your ability to compete, and defeat, your business competition.
Above all, do not drink the outsourcing and globalization "Kool-Aid" that every bought and paid for media consultant talks up on their bought and paid for corporate media showcases. The gains to the organization cannot be made real, certainly not on any long-term basis, and the disruption caused by a headlong pursuit of unrealistic and unsustainable profit margins over impossibly long periods of time will likely make the entire planet uninhabitable within two decades.
Extinction and global fascism, or possible survival and global democratic socialism – these are our choices, gentle reader. But watch how forcefully the case for insanity clings to the insane.
