- biocomputation 10y agoSure, since it isn't going to an American anyway.
- dmode 10y agoHiring an immigrant vs offshoring has many more benefits. Tax dollars to start with, but immigrants also spend that money on food, housing, etc
- jfim 10y agoThat's what Amazon is doing with their Vancouver office. Since getting enough hires into the US is too complicated, it's easier to open an office really close to Seattle and give those tax dollars to Canada instead of Uncle Sam.

- amzn-342342 10y agoAmazon's problem is completely different. The management disgraced the company and no self respecting American wants to work there. Some of their tech departments are 70% Indian. They want to hire people in American, but, surprise, America is full of those damn Americans, none of whom want to work there.
