US IT jobs going overseas creating 'IT Rust Belt'.

[Jeremy Fowler]

...hrmm, what a surprise coming from someone who works for the government! ;-)

Why is it that when someone brings up potentially controversial subject matter someone gets their 
panties all up in a bunch? If it's not their view, damn them for bring it up! Yet I have yet to see 
someone complain about the near endless 
job related postings, PC swap meets, or favorite restaurants. Or the other 75% non-linux related 
postings that make it to the list.

Personally, I find nothing wrong with people posting what they want when they want. The whole 
freedom of speech thing comes to mind. As I've said before, we are a Linux User Group, a community 
of local Linux users. Feel free to share you opinions about anything, just as long as your a user 
of Linux, nothing is off topic. 

If you don't approve, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of having to take a second out of your life 
to click that delete key.
