Reminds me of the episode of daily show where the overseas call center outsourced to Americans who had to fake a foreign accent.


This was also mentioned in We the Economy. I live in south carolina and know a few textile owners as they are self-insured employers (my company sells health benefits programming). It is amazing how differentiated and specialized the fiber industry is. There is still a decent supply of suppliers and specialized laborers that it would make sense for chinese to set up shop in the carolinas.
