IT decisions "will be made offshore"

[threaded]

First we sent manufacturing overseas.
Then food production.
Then we sent software.
Now management.

In the end, all that will be left is a nation of shopkeepers and a sea of unemployed.

No, there won't be that many shops, they'll just be in the places tourists go. Mainly it'll be markets. But by then the population will have been reduced by emigration, disease and malnutrition so not so bad. Building materials will be cheap as there will be lots of ruins to pick over, although the concrete edifices in city centers will be quite dangerous until all the metal has been removed and they are just piles of rubble.
