Re: Disease is swift, response is slow

[Guest guest]

This is the same kind of attitude that is killing millions of workers

in China, the factory floor of the world. Until those who are doing

this to people - knowingly - are held personally and criminally

responsible, there will be no action.

Workers are seen as more and more 'expendable' in the marketplace

these days, so getting any kind of improvement, be it improved working

conditions, safety regulations, or overtime pay (or even regular pay -

salaries) is going to be very difficult.

We need to get off of this race to the bottom, because if we don't, we

are going to kill ourselves.

The big question is: Do the people live to work, or work to live. In a

future where people's labor is no longer needed, and they are only

needed as consumers (if they have money) who wins?

Is government of by and for the People, or is it of by and for the Corporation?
