What jobs would you like to see outsourced?

[Deja Q]

Moving these jobs offshore would save corporations a LOT of money:

Psychologists/counselors. Thanks to the internet and/or streaming video, big HMOs can send their headshrinks off to some third world country. Instead of having to pay 'em $66k per year, it'd only be $6k. Of course, the end result would trickle down to the rest of us in the form of lower bills, yes?

Elected officials. They get paid a nice upper middle-class salary ad the benefits they wrote up for themselves last them a lifetime as they get perks when they leave office. This alone would take MILLIONS out of the deficit.

The President. With * in power, it's clear that anybody can be. So let's save the $400k/yr plus post-presidency benefits and let some snob from Oozbekistan run our country. The corporations would pay that sod as much as anyone else in power for manipulation and control.

Corporate CEOs. They talk about saving money and lowering prices by sending our jobs overseas (yet I haven't seen any prices go down, how odd...). Anybody ever bother to look to see how many millions or billions the CEOs make? Not to mention severance pay, such as the $26 million the dumbfuck from AT&T got in 1998? ($26 mil is far more than enough to keep one person alive from the womb to the tomb, with a 100 year lifespan.) Get rid of the asinine severance pay, whittle down the salary from $26 mil to $20k and be done with it.

Sports players - replace them with the officials of other countries who gripe and make war with other countries. Sports would be a catharsis rather than a spectacle and innocent lives wouldn't get hurt because the warmongers would merrily kill their own worthless selves off in the arena. This also harks back to elected officials/president because sports players make multiples of millions per season and your average congressdude makes $120k or whatever.

Actors - if "Friends" can show that this stuff can be quietly filmed in Korea, so can any other show. It's cheaper to fly 'em out and exploit their workers as it also puts more of our own overpaid workers on the streets. Since acting isn't about ability but how sexually appealing/stimulating they are, it doesn't matter who they get just as long as they have big boobs or a manly face.

Doctors - if they can do surgery overseas via the internet, cameras, and robotic mechanics, this puts their job at risk. Thankfully. Of course, laws are being re-written to remove so-called 'frivolous' lawsuits so when your doctor is in India remote-controlling the Microsoft Scalpel 95 and it crashes, he isn't liable and you've lost your limb or life, oh well.

What other professions really should go overseas to remind our dummies in power that our infrastructure needs to be here, in the country that gives them all these perks and freedoms? They shouldn't take things for granted...

I'm certain they could easily teleconference from one of the SuperMax prisons here in the US.
