Does this game know anything about economys?

If you ban outsourcing the economy goes UP
if you allow outsourcing the economy goes DOWN


If you allow outsourcing there are no jobs in your country and the economy crashes
If you ban it the companys need to get jobs IN your country and the economy goes up.

and dont give me if they outsource everything becomes cheaper and the company makes more money. If doesnt matter if everytihng becomes cheaper no one in your country has a job, they have no money and cant buy it. And if the executives of companys are making money that doesnt bring up the economy.

Jobs=economy


So if in the outsourcing issue you voted to ban outsourcing why does your economy drop?

The decision to allow "outsourcing" (for those who don't follow economic news, the practise of letting low-cost jobs in your country move to other nations) harms employees in those jobs, but helps business and all other consumers.

On the one hand, lower prices can boost consumption and spending. On the other hand, executives' extra income will either be spent by the executives, boosting comsumption, or go into a bank, encouraging investment and the creation of new jobs.

Whether it is ethically correct to allow some of the least-paid people to be made unemployed is another matter, but forcing companies to pay a higher price for labour than they could pay under perfect competition does not help the economy.

Heh, this issue raises and lowers economic freedoms, not the state of the economy.

And outsourcing allows you to get cheap labor and thus you could have more cooprerations,and even if you had half the country unemplyed, if the other half are CEOs make 6 figure salaries your economy overalll wont look dead

Its not low cost jobs its all the jobs. What economic news are you watching? I know people who lost their job to outsourcing and they made over 100,000 a year. So obvsily you have no idea what your talking about.

And if you dont have a job, you dont have money, and if you dont have money, you cant be a consumer.

Also a company isnt 50% CEOs there are like 8 per company.
