The UAW
is planning to appeal the recent vote at the VW plant in Tennessee. They are
advocating for a revote due to third-party intervention. Funny thing about this
little article is that the UAW is looking for a revote because of conservative
intervention and threats that the company will lose funding. I call that
leveling the playing field because I'm sure all those union advocates made no
threats if they voted 'no.' Oh wait, VW
made the threats..." The UAW challenge comes days after
the top labor representative on Volkswagen's supervisory board suggested that
the anti-union atmosphere fostered by Southern conservatives could lead the
company to make future investments elsewhere. " So, conservatives say
if you pass the union measure then funding will be taken away, and the
pro-union people say if you don't pass we'll take the company elsewhere. So maybe if it passes, the workers can sue
for a revote due to union intervention!
Well,
it seems that the FCC has thrown the survey of American newsrooms in the trash
and is doubling down on net neutrality. Critics and proponents are both worried
that the increased regulatory power given to the FCC is something to be worried
about. The most likely scenario is increased government intervention, spying,
and regulation of all the things on the web. It's amazing when we in the US
blast nations such as China for regulating
their internet, then propose rules that make it possible here.
So,
according to the FAA the use of commercial drones is illegal. When did such a
thing become a law? If anything, government drone use should be illegal. But,
it appears that many today are using drones anyway and don't care what the
government has to say about it. With prices of these things coming down, the
FAA doesn't have the ability to regulate these drones at all. Kind of odd, why
pass a law that is impossible to enforce. Typically it means that if one or two
people are caught are going to be made an example.
So soon
after De Blasio of NY announced a traffic initiative to lower speed limits and
make the roads safer, his caravan was caught speeding down the street and
blowing through stop signs. Now the police of covered for him, saying that sometimes
it's necessary for this to take place. But the interesting part comes when the
mayor said this "We want the public to know that we are holding ourselves
to this standard." I guess when he used the word 'ourselves' he didn't
actually mean himself or his driver. Politicians and hypocrisy, they go
together like bread and butter.
