30. It's not a top story because they know most people get their news

from TV and TV news doesn't like anything without good visuals. Also TV news is corporate-controlled and the corporations don't want us to know about it. So they show us Michael Jackson, and talking heads talking about Michael Jackson, over and over and over and over and over again.

Maybe we could convince CNN to give us half an hour of real news once a day? If we begged?



Everyone who voted for this should be voted out of office. I haven't had a job that paid overtime since 1968 but I still think this is outrageous. I know how employers abuse their workers who are (or were) eligible for overtime pay, and I doubt they will start treating them better when they no longer have to pay overtime. Maybe workers will realize why unions are important now.
