Should apply to that as well if they're interacting with the US market. All the way through subcontractors to the end employee. No hiding behind contracting local companies.

    i don't like outsourcing either, but realistically the machine of capitalism isn't going to allow you to be rid of it in its entirety

    honestly i don't even know if getting rid of multinational organisations is on the whole a good thing, and that's the only way i can see of getting rid of outsourcing

    Outsourcing entirely being gone isn't realistic... But there's a huge difference between moving an entire team of say developers to India and having a worker teleconference in to be a cashier. Anyone directly interacting with a customer or end user in any capacity should be paid the same as a local employee in the location they're "working".

    A Telecashier is fucking stupid and ridiculous.

    Who said anything about that? We're just talking about putting tariffs on outsourced labor to correct for negative externalities.
