Short answer is yes.
We already are, not due to lack of qualified people, but due to policy and fraud.
We have colleges/universities un-ironically teaching Twitter and Facebook as CompSci courses while ignoring things like the OSI model, the TCP/IP stack, TIA/EIA standards or even basic electronics such as ohm’s law or mathematics such as the Pythagorean Theorem.
Those that are highly qualified such as myself and some others here are completely ignored and passed up for Pajeets in india and it’s not because they are smarter or work for cheaper; they don’t even have basic literacy and know nothing about what they are even working on. Ultimately if they actually want something that works they end up paying 10 to 100 times more for 100 copy/paste pajeet monkeys than just one white guy that could do the job right the first time in 1/100th the time for 1/100th the cost one common example is the ObamaCare healthcare.gov site and CGI Federal, other examples include the fraudulent Connect America Fund and the SmartGrid project, all of which are 100% frauds and need to be shut down, investigated and undone.
Though the U.S. Government itself is actually the largest purveyor of off-shoring, hiring unqualified people, wasting money and fraud, this problem exists everywhere. I personally see so much messed up garbage even on major websites and software because of this nonsense. Some of this egregiousness is due to idiocy, but a majority of it is intentional.
They don’t want qualified people that can finish the job.
If they can just keep getting more money for screwing up and doing badly why would they end the gravy train of incompetence and corruption?
How much more egregiousness, corruption and idiocy can we get before the whole system crashes in on itself?
I quite frankly am amazed that anything in the U.S. still functions at this point, though it is visibly starting to degrade and break down before our very eyes…
The United States and other so called 1st world nations won’t make it until 2020 without looking like Nigeria, North Korea or worse, many places in so called 1st world countries are already indistinguishable from the very worst pictures of 3rd world hellholes “this is being done intentionally”. spend more money, cut more jobs, reduce the standard of living for everyone, it is by design…
There is a backlash against this but even if Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Marie Le Pen and others make an impact and actually fight this, it’s going to take many years to undo this scorched earth. We as a free people cannot tolerate thieves and liars any longer if we want to remain a free people and regain the freedoms we have lost over the last 30 years. Do not give money to Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter or any of the other fascists. If possible stop paying taxes and giving money to the beast, they lie to you, it’s time to lie to them and fight them, cut them off and make them wither and die.
