"Rightshoring" in the Collections Industry

The collection industry online blog slash trade journal Collections and Credit Risk is a pretty good source of information, even though it does take a pro-collection stance. They have an article posted now called "A Roadmap to Rightshoring" that made me want to vomit. Just the term "rightshoring" provokes a vicious response in me, especially when it comes to collections and especially when it comes to collection of credit card debt. It's bad enough when unknown people have access to my private financial records when they are here in the USA. It's just wrong to take the private financial information of US citizens and allow it to be moved overseas where abuses of the information can't effectively be policed or punished. To call "offshoring" "rightshoring" if linguistic bullshit.

While we're on the subject of vomit, it's time for our marginally-relevant video of the day.
