I Am A Statistic

I may be intelligent but sometimes I'm quite slow. Case in point, although I was fired/'laid off' back at the end of April, I did not until a couple of days ago realize that there are people right now being paid to do the exact same job I used to do on the exact same equipment for the exact same employer. Problem is, those people are in Bangalore, India. I have been outsourced. The tax dollars I pay each & every year were used in part to subsidize the very same people who stole my livelihood. Anger doesn't come close to describing what I am feeling.

(No, I'm not interested in the upcoming election. I'm sick of the horserace and the bullshit that passes for 'issues' these days. Worse I'm pretty certain that regardless who wins, nothing much will change and that no matter who wins, Bushco will walk free w/all their ill-gotten gains intact. Justice? Rule of law? Hardeharharhar.)
