US workers get the shaft?

Interesting... So workers in other countries get healthcare through the government. Well, workers in US plants owned by foreign auto companies probably get healthcare too... we hope??

Stealing from a crackhead?

Found a dime on the sidewalk where the crackhead usually sits to panhandle. Did he drop it out of his cup? Who knows. Meanwhile, a very happy looking crackhead was bouncing up the street -- but he was still panhandling, throwing his arms around passersby, singing songs to them, and everybody in the world was his best friend. I'd say he got his rock, and I picked up the extra dime.
