Cost is never the only driver of business decisions, contrary to the popular misconception among large sections of the Left.
==========================
An interesting situation.
On the one hand, we have Bill Gates stating that a lack of domestic talent ("exceptional talent" was the glitteringly imprecise phrase used, yes?) compels him to search beyond US borders for qualified employees.
And this may indeed be true; it's important to keep an open mind.
But then again, on the other hand, there are several US engineering groups that dispute this claim, saying that cost -- as in, I can pay visitors much, much less than similarly skilled citizens -- is indeed the primary motivation; pretty words from Chairman Gates notwithstanding.
Now what fascinates me Sujeet, is how you appear to believe, without a hint of doubt, that Gates is telling the truth. This implies that as you see it, his opponents, who only perceive the usual, narrow interests of capital at work, are totally wrong.
But since we really only have Gate's claims as our guide here where's this certainty coming from?
Do you know for a fact that there is truly a shortage in the US of the sort of "exceptional talent" Gates says he needs?
If so, how do you know this?
