The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Hardly the first time. About 2 years back they outsourced the State employee benefits program to Convergys - which, while being a US company - is doing substantial amounts of the development work offshore.
While I normally could care less about the taxes I pay (which doesn't mean I won't take a deduction if I can ) - this always struck me as triple taxation.
1. I have to pay Florida taxes to fund the project.
2. The offshore workers don't pay Florida taxes because they're not working in Florida, so the taxes local contractors would pay don't cycle back into the state budget.
3. The offshore workers aren't buying that much from Florida businesses, so those tax revenues are also lost.
However, according to my calculations, if you visit Disney World, one day's admission will run you the equivalent of Rs 2591.99.
Not including Florida Sales tax, which should be about Rs 155 more.

Nah, like most Floridians, I believe Jeb Bush is the best governor this State has ever had. Just wish he would consider running for President.
