It's about time. The first thing the EPA needs to do is ban the most dangerous chemical, to children, there is...... Dihydrogen Monoxide!!!!!

He did, sorta, want to create a monopoly, the sign of a TRUE Capitalist.

Hey, where is the "Innocent until proven guilty" here? Have charges even been filed Mik?

I think this "kid" is an idiot for even doing anything like this, but let's face it, we don't give people who are convicted of more serious crimes that much jail/prison time. Unless you beat an animal.

Just curious, Lou, who paid for the report?

Isn't that the first thing Liberals ask about any report that they disagree with?

Mikatollah,
Right and wrong. When advancement and increase of salary are dependent on productivity, it is up. If you compare union shops to non-union (Big Three Auto vs. Toyota/Honda, etc) union shops fall short every time. Labor costs, per unit, are higher, mostly due to lost productivity. The non-union auto shops are not unsafe, far from it, they are usually actually safer, yet lines are faster and more units come off than in the "Big Three". This is the main reason why we are not competative.

While there are some markets that are "protective" most are not. We still are unable to compete. The answer is not protection, it is becoming more "efficient".

Sorry, RT, Stern has nothing on Capone. Capone was a tried and true Capitalist.

I remember the old days when they wouldn't let in the "mollies" "spics" and "micks". That is the main way you can tell the "mob" doesn't run the unions anymore.

(by the way..... that is their terms, not mine. I am, afterall, one of those "micks")

Actually, Victor, it was the American Socialists that pushed and started Trade Unions. The Mob didn't get involved in them until the 1950's. This was due to the large amount of money available (pensions, strike funds, etc) and the fact that they dominated industries they were interested in. This was predominately trucking, construction and the "ports" (blackmarket transport and clearance of tax-free goods).

"Organized Crime" has never "run" this country (on a local level, maybe), they are too diorganized for that.

Sicario, I thought the same thing. Since they missed out on losing hundreds of millions of dollars on the Olympics, why not give them the opportunity to lose it with this "show".

It amazes me the Hutzpah of these idiots. "White House aide David Axelrod says the administration must take into consideration such local opposition. " Why then didn't they even talk to someone from the city BEFORE they made the decision and announcement, months age.

I believe you are correct. I think he was an "aging" Professor, or something. I may be wrong, it has been a while.

What Luke Cage Film??????
