No but they do, you know. I heard a woman (doctor's waiting room) explaining to her child that the shops bought things for a lower price than they sold them. She said it in tones that suggested such a thing was immoral.
It gives the reader an idea of the man's basic attitudes.
Just how many days does it take to learn a new tool/language?
Once you have the basics its easy to change the way you work in software. I know as I have worked my way through ASM86, plm86, embedded SQL, C, java, and few others on real time systems, database machines, unix machines, etc. That was after I designed loads of hardware using TTL, MOS and microprocessors. It is not difficult.

While we are on the subject, tax needs sorting out too - in particular corporation tax.
No you can't because no one has done that world wide.
They have chosen to do that. They haven't been encouraged to do that in the way you propose.
Ditto with both.
It remains to be seen how long those who still have local call centres continue to do that when their competitors do things more cheaply and pass those lower costs onto their customers.
only because of the way employed are counted. Unemployed self employed don't count as being unemployed. Those working a fraction of a week zero hours are counted as working.
