If everyone wants to be a rock star and they only let you play that night, aren't they doing you a favor?

Let's Play this situation out.

Fauxbo: Jiro is a terrorist
Jiro: No I'm not
Fauxbo: Aha! exactly what a terrorist would say. Off to Gitmo.

Negotiations happen in 'back rooms' all the time. The point is we know these negotiations are going on with Unions, with these companies we don't.

I'd be fine if the companies publicly stated :
"We are working together to make sure we as corporations pay as little to employees as possible by talking about your pay behind closed doors and promising each other not to hire from each other"

Then I'd at least be informed and be able to make my decision on who I'd want to work with. Just like I can decide not to work for a company that has a union.

I don't know what the margin is on virtual tractors, but I assume it's the metric buttloads.

But don't stand to close in line

To quote Ben Goldacre, "you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into"

Much like Jets, Quantum Mechanics are very interesting when up close and personal.

Seeing a Jet fly by 100 feet above your head will make me star slack-jawed into the sky, and think man that is big and flying... weird.

I do have a full understanding of the science behind flight and some of the science behind Quantum Mechanics (saying a full understanding would be lying, it's still freaky to think about)

Seeing this up close and personal is neat, that's all.

Ooooh yeah... that makes sense now.

I've invented a car that runs on water, but that water needs to come from the taps in PA.
