Except the BNP and their ilk ARE Nazis. A sad day indeed for the EU, left or right, when admitted racists and unapologetic fascists can actually win elections.

On the bright side, I'm an American and I seriously doubt the neo-Nazis will ever take over by elections. By violence maybe but not by elections.

We don't buy into anything. Company policy dictates that all employees in good standing get a share of stock for every $190 of income. People that have worked for a decade and bought stock along with what they got free tend to make thousands every year in addition to pay.

Frankly I wished I worked for them 3 years ago when the stock split 5 ways. Missed out on that jackpot. Still getting payed in stock AND money isn't 1/2 bad, no risk of layoffs ether.

Meh, my employer has the right idea. Make the company employee owned and the stock privately traded. The employer can't screw over the employees w/o screwing over the stock holders (who ARE the employees) and the employees (who are the stock holders) can't milk their employer for all it's worth if they want a good dividend. All with no chance of an outside buyout.

As it is, sales are up, number of locations is up, number of employees is up and not 1 employee has EVER been laid off in the 80+ years the company has existed.

The only 2 things that can be said have gone wrong are the stock prices dropping (duh) and profits dropping off a bit (which corresponds with a drop in prices, we're still in the black and debt free).

Unions don't work. Direct ownership by the workers does.

Yes. but it make no since. What's the difference between meeting someone online and meeting someone at a bar except if things go south, they can't hurt you (being as you may vary well be on different continents). If anything, online dating is the safest way to go if you're not going to stick with people you already know.
