Outsourcing is inherently an unsustainable mechanism. It only
benefits those who use it first. A good question to ask oneself
when deciding whether to do something or not is "what would
happen if everyone did it?".

This apparently dangerous tendency is now rampant all over the Western
world.Unemployment is running ever higher, economies are slumping,
governments waste time and money trying to control things outside their
power, or lining thweir own pockets, and all the while, crime and other
problems are increasing rapidly. Trade unions are losing all their political
clout, and globalisation advances every day.

The world population is steadily increasing, and more and more resources are
getting close to the "bottom of the pot". The Western world is living far
above its means.

This however, has been the case since the beginning of the industrial
revolution, but the ball was not rolling quite so rapidly, or on such a
huge scale. Massive advances in communications technology, in which we are
at present taking part on this group, are also playing a major part in this.

There is really no telling where it will end. Best case would be a unified
world, with a controlled population, and equal opportunity.

Worst case? I have no idea. Global war maybe?
