outorsing, the purest form of capitalism?

don't think i am against america with this.. i am not. in fact, i don't ever think about "good for my country". i think in terms of "good for men kind".

so, generally, outsorsing is good. your america is too expensive. you get 10x more $$ for the same job as i get in my third-world-country serbia. and you spend also 10x more on a lot of things (but not all. for example cars, gas/oil and internet/phone is even more expensive here than in the US).

so, basically, outsorsing is capitalism in it purest form. a good number of ppl get to feed their families, and you learn to cut the costs.


as to how good it is, let me show you a completely opposite example. tim bray (w3c, xml, tag, ..) on his blog wrote recently that your government gives *billions* of dollars to US farmers that don't earn "enough". here is a quote:

Quote:
There’s no nice way to say this: The world’s richest countries are deliberately, and as a matter of policy, promoting poverty and starvation in the world’s poorest countries.


read the article yourself, so that i don't have to tell you what it said: http://tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/11/AfriFood

i think that practice is wrong on so many levels. it is totally opposite of what should be done. you should buy cheaper products (of equal quality) from ppl who could in turn feed themself. and that billions of taxpayers money could be put to better use (or taxes could be cut down ;))


so, basically, outsorsing is the opposite of the above given bad example. you pay cheaper, and wealth is spread more evenly across the world.


and to that notes that say "and usually, the quality of code is very bad", i tell you, no. or, better, maybe, sometimes it is bad. we are not any better or worse than americans. much of you here know me, and know that i am probably better than the average american (at least with php and some other stuff). that is ok. i am better than the average here. so, i ask you is every american product/company good? no, some of them are bad. so, just as you can get bad product/service in US, you can get it from outsorsing. only slight difference is that you don't know which companies are good/bad in serbia (for example), as you know (or can find out) in america. so, you can make a mistake if you dont investigate enough. if you are careful enough, you should not have any problems.


and at the end, again, note that i am not speaking evil about USA. i don't hate america, and i don't love it. i don't even love my country or my nation. (why should i value my stupid neighbor more than matt or notepad (not cow )). so, if you want to argue me, please dont pull that "dont talk crap about my america" reasons. argue my logic, please!
