Please vote in the poll if you banned outsourcing in your nation - option 1, option 2 which is similar, or allowed more economic freedoms option 3, just curious to see how many nations have passed options 1, 2 and 3.

I choose banned outsourcing option 1 in two of my nations and allowed more economic freedoms option 3 in one of my nations, after option 1 did not do well.

You may discuss, debate and argue the affects of each option in the real world.

Option 1. This is unacceptable decrees Bianca Christmas, outspoken representative of the National Union of Telephone-based Salesman. "Sixteen call-centers round the country have already closed because they found they could get cheaper workers in some country no-one's ever heard of. If businesses are allowed to pack up shop and ship jobs out to other countries, our own people will be unemployed and out on the streets. The government must ban this evil corporate practice immediately.

Option 2. Nonsense scoffs Prudence Hendrikson, manager of human resources at Ekin, a popular sportswear company. Outsourcing jobs to where the labour is cheap means we can slash costs. That means we can have lower prices for the good consumers - uh - citizens of nation name. There's plenty of other jobs besides factory-working you know, and with the influx of cheaper products they really shouldn't have anything to complain about.

I read somewhere that only low wage jobs should be outsourced to poorer nations, it helps them and helps us by creating higher wage jobs here, does any one agree with any part of this statement I read somewhere.

Option 3. The only reason that companies are so unwilling to stay here is because of the constricting regulations, "says Falala Shiomi, a ridiculously wealthy businessman. "Everytime my company tries to make a decision, we run up against about a million laws forbidding us from our ventures. Since when has making money been a crime? Allow more economic freedom and companies will be simply flocking to this country. The workers will suffer a bit from losing minimum wage laws, of course, but that's progress for you."

Outsourcing is one of the things I disagree with the Bush administration on. I think it should be banned, as it ruins our economy and props up the economy of those who could become potential enemies and those who, in all probability, will become enemies (i.e. China).

outsourcing is ok it helps poor countries develop and makes products and services less expensive. Now for those countries who outsource they can move on to other businesses or focus on developing their products and services. Jobs do not dissapear but evolve into a different work, workers should be able to adapt to this and only good education can prepare workers from these changes.

democratic socialist,
very good, reasonable and excelent
in one of my nations with otion 1.

I went from democratic socialist,
very good, reasonable and very good to
democratic socialist, very good, fair and very good
in one of my other nations with option 1.

I went from liberal democratic socialis, unintended circumstances, below average, reasonable and superb to
corporate bordello, below average, thriving and superb
in one of my nations with option 3. Better, now working on trying to get it to capitalist paradise.

In one nation I picked Option 3 (which brought my economy from Thriving to All-Consuming). In another I picked Option 1 (which brought my economy from Fair to Developing). In another I picked Option 2, which brought the economy level from Very Strong to Strong. I'd probably pick option 3 in the future.
