Jags MB Election Poll

I hate HRC but I'm voting for her.

 

Wife's a non-rapist from Mexico and I do favor the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA").

 

..... still not certain whey there is no discussion about the US outsourcing all of our IT and Call Center jobs to India.  Seems like all of the focus is on China & Mexico  .... oh well.   India is the silent killer of a lot of good US jobs.

Regarding the part in bold, why do you think that is?

I know you didn't ask me, but its simple. Cheaper. Quality of the work is typically not very good, but certainly cheaper.

It is interesting how "tight" this race has all of a sudden become a week before the election.

 

Now that propaganda season is over and the MSM are actually about to be accountable for their polls and predictions, the double digit leads for HRC have all but disappeared. Amazing.

HOW and WHY is it cheaper?  Please don't try to give a wage argument.

I don't know the exact why and how, but assume it has to do with cost of living, lower burn rates, etc...

 

I work for a large technology firm that has an overseas group that is used on some projects to keep costs down and make bidding more competitive. I have also done some side work on freelancer.com and it is almost impossible to compete with some of the bids the overseas developers make

Quite plain and simply, the reason jobs are outsourced either over seas or to Mexico is the cost of TAXES, REGULATION and unions in this country.  A very good example of the latter would be the automotive industry among others.

 

That being said, the cost of labor (wages) is certainly less expensive, but you have to remember.  $1.00 here in the U.S. is worth several "dollars" in other countries.

I know life is not as simple as what I'm about to say, but it is sad that Americans have settled for lower quality product.

Write-in for me as well. I can't stand either major party candidate, and I'm tired of voting for the least-dirty one.


My vote won't make a difference anyway, since my state is as red as a pomegranate.

India is not as strict about quality, so people working there can use cheaper parts in products. I heard this about my own medication during a neurology appointment.

To answer the OP, of course I am voting for Hillary Clinton. Even if I did not like her there is no way could I vote for Donald Trump.

This might be an election someone wins with less than 38% of the popular vote

The question that really matters is this: Why are you voting for your preferred candidate?

 

A. I like the candidate.

B. I hate the other candidate.

C. I am voting for my party.

D. All of the above.

 

It is D for me. And my preferred candidate is Hillary Clinton.

I'm not trying to be mean but this is a big part of the problem.  Voters like this.
