That is why R&D is so bloody expensive in this country. But I don't

all kind of middlemen. Scientists and engineers in India will be
getting peanuts. It is for sure. But it is not gonna cost less at this
end if they continue to feed all this bureaucratic pyramid.

No argument with you on any of that. At some point in the future, that
easy money for the overlings will start drying up. At that point,
panic may set in. What that will look like and who will get hurt the
most is open for speculation.

What happens when corporate boards start outsourcing executive functions?


Won't happen if CEOs outsource/offshore board functions first. But, as long as boards are in bed with CEOs, nothin' gonna happen.
