Have you tried to speak to them in another language? Which is why I'm opposed to outsourcing American jobs to people who butcher English so badly, I've given up calling Dell when I have a computer problem

I've given up calling Dell when I have a computer problem. Since Dell's revenue largely does not come from its support, I'm sure Dell would be quite happy to discover you no longer call them for help, this, so long as you continue buying their machines. The minute you (and, of course, many others) decide not to buy Dell because of outsourcing, then outsourcing will cease (or be shifted to people who speak better English if that is your only concern). Outsourcing has nothing to do with being pro or anti American. It takes place for the same reason that most of the stuff you are wearing was manufactured by foreigners, for the same reason your kitchen appliances, your cars and their components, even much of your foodstuffs were produced by foreigners. Jobs have been exported by America for decades on end and while lower-level auto-workers and laborers whined about it, few listened to them. That higher-level jobs are flowing out of the country makes no difference at all. It is just more of the same. Americans must adjust, else they will find their standard of living continuously crumbling - and it will be no one's fault but their own.
