[quote=Anonymous]I don't really consider Amazon Prime, etc., to be outsourcing. Even in 1914, folks could get the Sears Roebuck catalog and place orders, so that "outsourcing" has been around for over a century. In the bad old days, the top percent or two lived like Upstairs/Downstairs or Downton Abbey. The next 15-20% or so made do with a maid of all work or if you were maybe part of the 3-4%, you had a man of all work too -- sometimes live-in, sometimes live-out. Today, that work is spread out among various services -- $150/mo to the cleaning service, $100/mo to Peapod or whoever, X dollars a month to wherever you get takeout, etc. Then, as now, finding good help is hard to find. ;) [/quote]
