You'd think that a single call to "tech support" for any major computer company would cure any exec/CEO of the desire to outsource anything overseas. The next time I have to call HP for help, and have to talk to "Michael" and his canned answers that are all online anyway, I'm likely to become rather angry.

Nothing good can come from either reduction in our professional fees (would anyone have the gall to demand lowered fees from other professionals just because of a market shift? I think not.), nor from outsourcing work to anywhere a person can't put feet on tile and read the books. I'll continue to maintain my personal integrity, refusing work from or to work for companies that commit either of those two acts. My pocket may be thinner for it now, but I can sleep at night.
