by cheap foreign labor and greedy management droids seeking bigger

far. What we need is for all non-management employees working as
programmers, web site designers, etc., who are U.S. citizens, to go
on strike---while also demanding time-and-a-half back pay in order to
resume work when the strike is over. This would be all the more
effective if those working for the government doing defense work that
can't be turned over to the foreigners go on strike as well. That's
one way to make 'droids and politicians feel some heat for the
problems they've caused. Ok, it will probably never happen, but it's
neat to think about.
At the risk of sending this further off-topic, if we stuck with this
philosophy then we'd all still be tilling fields.
Evolve or become extinct.
