Qualcomm engineers get axed, then train foreign replacements
For all his flaws there is only one presidential candidate unequivocally opposed to this systematized exploitation of labor. No, not Sanders. The other guy. If you want to end these practices and policies established by GW Bush and continued/expanded by Obama/Clinton that have been designed to suppress wages and extract concessions from workers then you have to vote for Donald Trump. Why do you think exploiters such as Bain Capital's Mitt Romney and Facebook's Zuckerberg are so hysterical that Trump might win? (hint: neither of them really care about Trump's twitter messages). I will gladly put up with a few silly sexist retweets to get this issue fixed. Some offended egos at a rally do not bother me in the slightest. There was not even one bloody nose -thier is no unbridled "violence" that the press calls it (in comparison to 500 murders in Chicago alone - now that is violence and it has been allowed to continue by the Establishment because they just don't care). And I have no sympathy for the feigned indignation by professional protestors who were bought and paid for by George Soros. Trump is a clear and easy choice for any American who earns, or wants to earn a paycheck.— March 31, 2016 9:03 a.m.

McDonalds is investing in automation to replace cooks and even cashiers with robots. Good luck!— March 31, 2016 8:46 a.m.
Income chasm widens in San Diego
By the way, its not just overseas that we are competing with. Petco recently relocated about 100 IT positions to Austin Texas. Lower cost, better services, better educated workforce lower taxes and a government that is not bankrupt.— October 26, 2011 2:44 p.m.
Income chasm widens in San Diego
I agree it would be great if San Diego could attract more high tech jobs. Its just not going to do anything for the income disparity, because the people here who have low wage jobs will not be hired into the high wage tech jobs but will stay in the same low wage jobs. As you note, people from out of town would move here to take those spots. Which is the core of the problem, right? Our State and Local establishments have failed to deliver the right mix of tax, infrastructure, educated potential employees. Why come here and pay high tax, deal with an oppressive regulatory regime in a bankrupt state and a nearly bankrupt city when they can go to world class places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Netherlands, parts of Eastern Europe? Lower tax, less regulation, more educated workforce, business friendly government, better services and infrastructure. No amount of marketing and civic pleading will overcome the fundamentals - we need to fix the fundamentals - only then will the jobs come.— October 26, 2011 2:41 p.m.
Income chasm widens in San Diego
Of course we have growing income disparity. 40% of California's kids don't finish high school yet the world's economy relies more and more on knowledge rather than brawn and endurance. Income disparity should suprise no one - it is a natural outcome of failing too many of our kids for too many decades, by social promotion, teaching soft skills rather than real skills (reading, writing, arithmetic and critical thinking), and offering a generous social safety net to those who choose not to complete thier education while offering aggressive income redistribution to those who do. Bringing high paying tech jobs to San Diego will not help the undereducated in our community, they are not qualifed to do the work.— October 26, 2011 10:28 a.m.
