Oh the General-- Why do you do this? What happened to your customers and the way you do business?

I'll take a guess at why.
1. No union labor (hire/fire at will)
2. No health care benefits, retirement plans (huge cost savings)
3. No environmental regulation (pollute/dump at will)
4. No government interference whatsoever (who wouldn't love that)
5. Huge pool of labor to draw from, more than willing to work for a fraction of U.S. labor cost
Cost control is king. People are not assets, they're costs. You go to India to control costs.
