alt text: 18 of our 40 employees are located in the Philippines. Insanely competent, great judgement, and $5 per hour. If you run a small business and don't have overseas help you're at a disadvantage

Funny note on that: Went to stay with a friend in Manhattan back in '91. Stunned by the prices I asked, "How does anyone survive on minimum wage?!"

He laughed, "Man, nobody gets minimum wage here!"

I'm in a poor county in Florida. 6 years ago, jobs could be found at the very bottom, no more.
