Speaking out about corporate outsourcing

I recently had a billing problem with DirecTV. Believe it or not, I spoke to a person in Manila, Phillipines. I could barely understand the lady, so I asked her, “Where are you located?” She replied, “I am in Manila, Phillipines.” Wow, this country has so many unemployed people. Everyone complains about Obama and the unemployed, why don’t these people complain to corporations about outsourcing to cheap labor, who you can’t understand when they speak?

DirecTV is not cheap, but pay low wages to third world country employees. By the way, I called DirecTV and told them what I thought.

I am happy that the election campaigning is over, but most of all the absence of political ads from both parties, blatantly lying about their opponents.

As a resident of Pahrump, I have deep concerns about bringing homeless people here with the intent of reintroducing them into society.

Nobody knows better the grit and sacrifice military service requires than those who donned the uniform.

EDITORIAL: Biden foreign policy leaves a void on world stage
Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

The world was a relatively stable place when Donald Trump left office in 2021. Since then, the Biden White House signaled repeatedly to our enemies that there is little consequence for international misbehavior.

An ode to the healing waters of Tecopa
By Eric Coleman Pahrump Valley Times

Every oasis in a desert has a gravitational pull, and Tecopa’s hot mineral water is a particularly strong vortex.
