1. And, they shouldn't oppose health care for workers calling it a
"government takeover" and "dangerous"...but tell the only truth - because they don't
want to dip into profits

2. And they don't care if workers die - with high unemployment they're easily replaceable.

4. I think it's business in general too...but my theory is that it's root
is instant business news. There was a day when you owned a stock
and you might open the paper and look up your IBM stock and see
it went up 50 cents and be happy. IBM rolled along, still providing
good benefits and giving raises to employees.

Now, you can see the stock fluctuate every minute of every day. And,
if IBM doesn't consistently top earnings from the previous period
the business talking heads lambast them, we see it, and sell IBM.
To keep this up, IBM cuts benefits and freezes salary increases.

So, that's my answer, get rid of CNBC and Bloomberg. haha
