A cannot really see anything good about outsourcing. Shure we can get 
stuff cheaper. But it is acheived by people working for less money. Not 
by people working more efficiently. So it is a net loss.

Furthermore if we "rationalise" by using cheaper labor we will not get 
the benefits of automation, as there will be less motivation to automate.
