Everyone beats up on America for being the worst, but look, sometimes India is the worst too, as is the case of Bollywood shutting down because all their laborers went on strike:

About 147,000 workers belonging to a federation of 22 unions — representing workers ranging from extras and dancing girls to lighting technicians and camera operators — didn’t show up for work, calling it a "noncooperation movement," evoking Mahatma Gandhi’s words during India’s fight for independence.

Wait, they just didn't show up for work? That's actually way smarter than what the writers in LA and NYC did almost a year ago during the WGA strike, when they showed up, but then just walked in circles with painted signs. Suckers.

While it's easy to point and go "Look, other countries have their problems too" you know that it's inevitably going to come back to America and how we caused the economic collapse of everywhere, including India:

Companies are shedding people in small numbers and keeping their actions under the radar. The dreaded pink slips have arrived in Bangalore.

The biggest indicator of the slowdown is the salaries and raises. It used to be acceptable to have lateral hires ask and get 30 per cent increases on their previous salaries. Annual hikes have varied between 15 to 40 per cent in the good years. All that is now a thing of the past. Wage increases are now down to more realistic, single-digit numbers.

So as less Americans have less money to outsource to India, there is a drop in money being injected into their economy, which eventually trickles up to Bollywood and the unions and now no one is going to be seeing Hari Puttar and it is all our fault. Again.
