First: cite?
Second: If corporate cash reserves are higher, I’m sure it wouldn’t have anything to do with the financial crisis/fallout and companies wanting to sit tight for a bit while the economy stabilizes. You know, completely unlike how consumers are spending less and saving more recently, until things stabilize. Nothing like that at all.
Make that 16,000,002. Fired two guys last night. I shit you not, I just logged on to let our finance woman know.
Let’s check the tally:
Jobs Created By Le Jacquelope: 0
Jobs Lost Because of Le Jacquelope: 2
Never mind.
ARRRGGGHHHH! Don’t tell him that! I’m having a great time seeing him blunder from topic to topic, trying to use his ‘common sense’ and ‘gut’ to puzzle out stuff he obviously hasn’t the first idea about. It’s hilarious. The USD is about to fall through the floor and the Yuan about to skyrocket (many experts in monetary trading that Le Jackass knows are poised to buy big. Gold too is very important. I think my earlier advice to buy gold and chia-pets needs to have some additional caveats to it, in light of the horned ones pronouncements). And at the same time this happens they are going to take the rest of our jobs! We’ll be destitute, with a low currency (while the Chinese have a skyrocketing one…which everyone knows is perfect for exporting and preventing imports!), no jobs (literally…even McDonald’s will be outsourcing to India), no ability to import (since our own currency will be so low…and, as I said, everyone knows what THAT means). What’s next? The Chinese are going to import our men in order to balance their population. We’ll have to send them over to marry their daughters! Then the Chinese are going to buy up all our stuff (since we won’t have any money, or jobs, or men)!
Then…it will be a panda invasion! They are going to breed pandas in the ruins of our civilization, turning our entire country into one huge panda breeding farm (since giant pandas are so valuable…we won’t be able to buy any, but they will remain valuable anyway, since the Chinese currency will be SKYROCKETING!). After that, the sad remnants of the US (mainly old men, women and children), broken and starving, will immigrate to Mongolia and the country will be devoid of all it’s gold, chia-pets and Chinese currency…and full of giant pandas, lounging around and eating all of the cheetos. And this grim fate awaits us unless we heed the call of Le Jackass and impose tariffs, stop outsourcing, make the dollar strong again (as the gods intended it), buy up gold (hell, switch back to the gold standard) and ensure we have plenty of Chinese currency, giant pandas and chia-pets of our own! It…WILL…HAPPEN!

I can envision it: China, now wealthy and fully developed, decides to offshore Panda production. Somewhere in Beijing an individual logs onto a message board, there arguing quite vehemently that moving panda production to the United States spells doom for the Chinese economy – jobs lost, never to be recovered – what will all the bamboo farmers and feces-shovelers do now? – and if the trend isn’t stopped, China will be crushed, its worldwide dominance stolen by the US, its citizens forced into crap work when they can find jobs at all …
Meanwhile, we (here) will have be surrounded by pandas, the very cutest and cuddliest member (and the sole herbivore!) of family Ursidae. Depression levels will reach all-time lows. We shall adapt the digestion of bamboo, which grows nearly everywhere and requires very little tending. It will be a new and glorious era.
Even funnier than you passing yourself off as something more intelligent than what the seagulls dumped on my windshield this morning?
US exports are up right now, but jobs aren’t. Yet again more bird shit drips from your ears onto my windshield.
You never owned a business or held a job.
You don’t even deal with people. Nobody would let a walking abortion like you leave the household. That is unless it’s to let you stand on the rooftop so the coat hanger sticking out of your head could improve TV reception.
Whoops. Now they’ve switched to digital. No more use for you!

Here’s some more examples of America making fun of retards like you.

See, this is why you should stay home and keep your windows shut and boarded up.
On the other hand there’s an entire wrongful birth industry that wants you to work as their poster child.

Aaack! I want some lasagne!

I can use links too. Here is one that is rather disturbing and goes well with the thread. And another along the same lines. I believe that both capture the essence of the discussion and especially the OP, who I picture in the starring role…
(I just wish he were the panda)

The fact that a stronger yuan against the dollar would reduce U.S. imports from China has been pointed out at least a dozen times in these threads. It never registers.
Not as often as I have said it myself you flaming idiot. But then you have poor reading skills so maybe you missed it.
And now, in light of all the myths and bullshit that you believe in, here’s the Offshoring Theme Song:
Still waiting on those cites.
And I’d still like to know what the last big thing was, you know, 10 years ago. You mentioned it repeatedly but then can’t seem to back it up.
So no dinner until you finish your homework. Although I see others have been giving you snacks.
The entire content of your last several posts. In other words…‘I got nuthin’.
Yeah, that’s what I thought. I guess my work is done in this thread; shooting fish in a barrel gets boring after a while…
Your responses can be easily summarized as: you have zero reading comprehension.
Translation: you’re done shooting yourself in the eye.
Get lost, the world doesn’t need you.
For the 100th time: the TECH industry. You need a cite to prove to you that there were a ton of tech jobs a decade ago before the big crash hit? Really?
It’s no wonder you hide behind the seclusion of the Straight Dope Message Board. You and your merry band of pro-offshoring misfits here routinely get laughed right out of society with the bullshit you spout.
These threads are showing up on google searches now. Congratulations, you’ve humiliated yourself in front of anyone who searches for opposition to offshoring.
Good morning sleepy head, time for your bottle.
Yes, that is what we need, cites.
For example, here is a cite showing US unemployment data.
