All: Unfortunately, things like "heritage" and "leaders and innovators in
the technical world" don't fit in an Excel spreadsheet, or whatever other
financial modeling tool that Wall Street uses.  I'm as conservative as they
come, but our financial systems have deteriorated insofar as long-range
planning and goal-setting are concerned to the point that if it isn't going
to turn a profit immediately, it's not done.

Consider: On the day that quarterly earnings are announced, my company has a
certain number of assets, liabilities, staff, inventory, etc.  At the end of
that day all those numbers are essentially the same, but if we didn't meet
our NUMBERS, we lose 10%-15% or more of our stock value.  Nothing changed
except that we didn't quite meet those numbers.  What's wrong with this
picture?

Tell that to all the US tech companies that are hiring Indians
and other third world engineers because they cost so much less.

My second son is working on an Electrical Engineering degree,
with essentially no prospects for interesting work in the US. I
also know personally several engineers who are out of work
because their jobs were moved overseas.
