After then complete their IT training / become a video game developer in 24 hours certificate, as per the radio commercials promising $75/yr, the kids can walk across the parking lot to the unemployment office

You can't collect unemployment insurance payments unless you have worked for at least a year.

Union workplaces are, statistically speaking, much safer than non-union workplaces in the same and related industries. When you have a collective bargaining agreement, job security, and an explicit grievance procedure, you aren't afraid to report and fix safety problems. When you're non-union, you have no representation, are underpaid, and can loose your job at any time, so you won't stick your neck out for safety. I would most certainly prefer that nuclear workers (or any power-plant workers for that matter), be union.

If you want good reporting on labor from anything but a business perspective (ie how will this effect share value), you have to look at the media of the labor movement itself, not the corporate owned and controlled mainstream media. On the Metropolis Honeywell workers in particular, I suggest these two episodes of Labor Express radio. Another good source for labor news is the Industrial Worker, the paper of the IWW.

Killing Hitler would not have prevented the rise of fascism in Europe. I would go back to Barcelona sometime between 36-39 and done everything I could to win the Spanish civil war for freedom and democracy and in tern stop Franco, Hitler, and Mussolini dead in their tracks. The revolutionary example of the CNT-FAI's anarcho-syndicalism could also have gone pretty far to provide an alternative to the brutality of both Stalinism and State-Capitalism.

The president may be a billionaire, while the company he manages has spent more than it has brought in. BTW I wonder how they plan to get out of a 4.3 billion dollar hole. US Cellular, which operates in a much wealthier, more mature market, has a revenue (total business) of only $3.93 billion and a net income (profit after expenses) of only $216 million.

Can we please call the iPhone OS something different? Cisco sold the original IOS years before Apple. Capitalization doesn't create a strong enough distinction. It just looks wrong.
