Don't worry russotto, you don't have too much choice in the matter.
From an economists perspective outsourcing makes perfect sense. I mean at the end of they day there is a massive underutilized pool of labour that keeps prices and therefore inflation down and that in theory will spur economic growth. In reality it's not so simple but really, you have a choice. Pay double for most things you buy, or wait for your job to go overseas.

First world living conditions are entirely sustained by 3rd world poverty, face it, it's been that way for decades. We've been living pretty on the back of the impoverished masses. The free ride is over, globalization means not only does it make sense to send your secondary industry overseas but suddenly the territory (service) sector jobs are in the firing line. Amazing how it was ok when it was those blue collar working class scum but when it hits the middle class suddenly it's front page news. What I find amusing is the way primary industry managed to band together and wield enough force to keep massively inefficient farming running and stupid tariffs in place to the detriment of 3rd world farmers yet all the white collar workers seem to think unionizing is somehow below them - we're IT workers, why would we need unions? How 20th century.

In the end you can't stop it any more than you can stop the progress of science. If your government wants to outlaw it the only people that will suffer are your citizens as your economy stagnates.
