I make a living off people who priced themselves out of the market. They have unyielding labor laws. They are inflexible and they cost too much for what they get. Some of them were plain bloody lazy.
So the companies in this business I do, decided to pay me instead of them because I am a better deal.

John is right. Those guys have to price themselves into the market. I am the man to beat. So just try. It is a free market.

The most important point John makes is that Chambers is being a politician rather than a CEO. Like Perot's "sucking sound of jobs going down south". He's just using a tool politicians are master of using: fear, by saying: Either I have my way or the alternative is terrible.

I don't think I am going to take people insulting the intelligence of Thread participants claiming a geographical area has the monopoly of anything.

Or is someone trying to say that there is something on the air they breath or the water they drink that make them special. I know what marketing -and a good one for that matter- is about. Look at it! We just went from the guys calling to the end of HB1 visa scheme, against plane loads of foreign techies landing in the valley to the 'sucking sound of the jobs going south'.
