The article starts its ramble complaining about tech jobs, then claims tech jobs go overseas due to "stricter labor laws and environmental protection laws." I doubt India's competitive advantages revolve around child engineers dumping wasteful piles of Java into the Ganges.
Our declining currency will mitigate how many jobs go overseas as we go forward, anyway.

When people vote for labor laws that make a product expensive to manufacture then go buy one made in a country where they don't follow the same laws, they are not being true to their stated values in my opinion. Even if unintentionally.

How many people base their vote on a candidate's position on labor laws?
