I'll let you know if I find anything. <BR/><BR/>We have a local example of Shock Doctrine right in my backyard, having to do with the tragedy of a barn full of farm animals at a state park getting killed when the barn caught fire a few years back. Long story short, with the State of Michigan and a married couple who ran the living historical farm successfully shoved aside, we'll now be blessed with facilities that will host corporate events and weddings.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-71082084578663523822007-10-07T22:59:00.000-07:002007-10-07T22:59:00.000-07:00When I tried clicking on the link for the Computer...When I tried clicking on the link for the Computerworld article it didn't open.Try this<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9041119&intsrc=hm_list<BR/> <BR/><BR/>By the time the lawyer middlemen get the SHAFTA,the American companies will be holding major investments in the Indian firms.

And while I'm speaking to the choir, I'll admit this company does everything engineers can do here:)<BR/><BR/>But isn't this a coincidence? -- Just when millions of our college students across the country have been forced to go against their natural instincts to study ANYTHING else but engineering and computer sciences, our law schools have never been more crowded...but your hubby is right; there will soon be no more need for this debauchery to go to homegrown lawyers, either...<BR/><BR/>About the Shock Doctrine: Will you let me know if you can find anything in the book that specifically takes the tech lobby to task? (She does a fine job with Iraq, but so far I haven't read anything about the white collar sector demise and h1-b.) I really am not so sure about her equivocation on the definition of "middle class" as many pro-h1-b authors are wont to ignore the white collar middle when they use the term.2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-80855999116637508442007-10-07T18:56:00.000-07:002007-10-07T18:56:00.000-07:00Hey, great post TooSleuthy!You'll be proud to know...Hey, great post TooSleuthy!<BR/><BR/>You'll be proud to know that I'm starting to read Naomi Klein's book, Shock Doctrine. Look's pretty good, so far.<BR/><BR/>I don't think the lawyers should start getting too comfortable. Someone emailed me this link, http://www.pangea3.com/. Hubby says it's just a matter of time before the corporations stop dealing with the American lawyer middlemen and start dealing directly with the Indian firms.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.com
