Outsourcing vs. Offshoring

Hi everyone,
 
Hope You're doing well. I've been looking for places to hire coders, and [yadda-yadda-yadda] found this really interesting post on a fairly famous website called TechCrunch.com. The post itself is a review of a service that I was looking at, but what's really interesting is the discussion that followed it. One person (nickname: AmericanMade) was making a case against offshoring jobs, while two others (nicknames: LongTimeUser and Dave McClure) were making a case for it.
 
Both sides run the full gamut of arguments: moral, macro-economic, business, societal...  I found myself continuing to read despite (or perhaps, more realistically, because) I have something else that I was planning on working on. It's a long discussion, and it took me some time to go through it - but I felt like I was learning from each comment made there, and came out with a lot to think about.
 
 
Take care, have fun,
 
- Eran
