OT: these people are saving capitalism?

Yet another in a series of pointless, jingoistic, off-topic posts.

One of my online time-wasters is to read the aviation related forums at
airliners.net. I came across a (to me, anyway) highly amusing discussion
on the vertiably Dickensian conditions at Indian airports. Some of the
highlights: faulty escalators dismembering children, swarms of grifters and
pickpocets (many who are also government/airport employees), and rabid dogs
roaming the terminals.

Too bad companies outsourcing aren't required to travel to India before
signing contracts. Might scare of a few of them, anyway.

"I once spent over an hour in a side room at Delhi airport being
interrogated by immigration when trying to leave the country as an
Indian citizen. They didn't even pretend that there was any reason for
it other than fishing for bribes."

Yup, this is a country where I would certainly go and hand over the keys
to the company.

In defense of indians..
they're nice people. I have an indian friend who moved to canada for IT
training, he's a brilliant guy, and the stories he tells me about the
country itself are amazing.
50 cents for a cup of coffee, and they /bring it to you/, and hell, they
even pour the sugar in it for you.
You're not pressured to leave after a while like the $4/cup starbucks.
Your house is the same size, but you've got more junk because it's cheaper.
They might make less than we do, but they spend it better.


but outsourcing sucks. capitalism should stay within the country rawrg! My
samsung monitor is all fuzzy 'n crap because I dont' want to talk to an
indian outsourced tech support company. What ever happened to identity?
