So you meant to say that with programming, the problem is complicated because it opens up the market from people from all over the world, and for industries that can't be outsourced, like barbershops, things aren't that bad?


I guess I just don't see an open market with no barrier to entry as "bad".

The possibility of outsourcing does force people to face this fact head-on, but even with barbershops barriers to entry mean higher prices for the end-consumer, higher operating costs for the barbers and unemployment for the almost-barbers who are excluded.
