Do you got me on ignore? I posted this to you yesterday:

microsoft.com

I believe this is a software company, n'est-ce pas? Look at what they are developing there. I don't think it is coffee beans. It is also outside the USA. And they are not doing it for ANY price, they are doing it for cheaper price. It also is operating system work, look at the projects, and not only that but it is the most prevelant operating system in the world, one of the richest countries in the world has accused it of being a monopolistic operating system as well.

But he was correct there are many services and products that can't be produced outside the USA for ANY price. I don't think this is a difficult question. Has anybody tried using common sense or did that disappear when the new economy took over? I have paid for some services that can't be done offshore recently. Examples, some tree trimming services very costly $60 per hour for one. Well pump repair work at exorbidant per hour rates. Oh, driveway resurfacing, can't do that offshore, although the materials most likely came from offshore, the service certainly wasn't.

Oh, and if you want to be picky about it, you could claim that some particular person is the only one in the world that could develop some IP because she is the only one with the idea planted in head. And no amount of money could make that one go offshore. I have a friend that would not leave SF for even 800T bucks, so he says, but I bet most SV engineers would move to Hyderbad for say 50 times their current salary, wouldn't you think? I mean like the company says Goa is only four hours away.
