Won’t you let me take you on a sea(code) cruise?

Ah, for some of you those words (”Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise“) must evoke good memories…not for me; I am too young! Anyhow, seacode (cruise) is the latest and greatest outsourcing/offshoring scheme I have heard of yet.

This innovative idea involves a sea cruiser (really, I’m not kidding!) that will be moored just far away enough off L.A. to be in international waters. The goal of the founders of the company (called, not surprisingly, seacode)

is, by mooring outside of the U.S. waters, they will not need to get visas for workers (who will presumably be primarily from China, India, and so forth). At the same time, these workers will presumably go to the closest shores (i.e., the U.S.) when they are “off hours” and spend their earnings here. According to the company’s website, 90% of the workers’ earnings will be spent in the U.S. (I wonder how they get that conclusion).
