Because Americans like working with other Americans why does there need to be a reason. Its simple and easy, shared culture, same laws for the most part, shared expectations, ease of communication both time and language. Why do we need to justify it!

[hkt]

Because it does not make economic sense. Also because that is comically inward looking and has a whiff of racism about it on the "shared culture" side..

I'm not sure where you took your sociology class but you ought to know that culture != race. Next time, you might try to respond directly to the person's statements instead of attempting to discredit them through unwarranted accusations of racism.

[zen928]

the distinction I think you're trying to make isn't necessarily racism, but a bias toward ignorance-promoting tendencies to remain ignorant which can have the same result: insulation of thoughts, ideas, decisionmaking from outside views

i don't think it's wrong to say that you could probably find some improvement from an outside perspective and that you may be missing something if you aren't, but I don't think it's a simple enough problem that you can reduce aversion towards change to any single motivation without trying to understand their reasoning

The US economy is not struggling and is not here to serve your interests.

[dudul]

It absolutely make "economic sense" to pay domestic salaries and keep the wealth in the country.

[calvinmorrison]

noooo you need to sell out your countryman to the unwashed masses over zoom calls until even you, the middle management, gets replaced

[MichaelZuo]

Is this a troll account?

[calvinmorrison]

No its not! Its a God Fearing Rooting Tooting All American Boy account

[MichaelZuo]

C'mon this is a bit too on the nose isn't it?

[postalrat]

Is it also wrong to prefer buying products made in your country?

>a whiff of racism about it

Be sure to tell the interviewer this during your next interview with a US company. Surely doing so will cause them to hire you immediately.
