VW wins, UAW lost

1-UAW took it on the chin in initial attempt to unionize foreign auto factories in Southern US states failed. UAW is a ghost from Detroit's past. 2-Olympic metal count tightens: Russia 19, USA 19, Norway 18, Netherland 17, Germany 15. 3-I missed the big fifth year anniversary celebration yesterday of pp's inital bill signed into law ... ~ $1 B Stimulas Plan. His best preformance up to that point was canceling out #43 EO's, and checking out local golf courses. Oh! I think Bo may of been obtained during this period? 3-This was around pp's 100 days as POTUSA. He boasted than, his next 100 days of dyanmic action plans would be in done in 75 days, and that he would rest for 25 days. Rest he did, indeed. I wonder how may times he regreated saying this bibical-like statement. 4-Ike's pine tree on the 17th fairway at Augusta National is no longer...recent ice storm took it out. President Eisenhauer never did like that tree. Bet it will be replaced with a simular tree, before the April 2014 Golf Masters commences. 5-During recent Congressional hearing a gov't spox said that future coal fired power plant whould have to meet EPA's CCG standards (Carbon Capture Sequestion). That would add 70 to 80% to electric generation cost. US of A has a >500 year coal supply largest in the world, with available 600 to 6,500 year underground storage, abandoned coal mines and oil/gas fields and closed salt mines for sequestered compressed CO2. Unproven climate change is the primer mover for pp/EPA's impossible standards. 6-For a fact, I can state this is the same EPA strategy used during the 1990s to control VOCs (volitile organic compounds)and other heavy metals pollutants entering the ground water or atmosphere That action drove out of existances iron/steel foundrys, plating/painting shops and organic chemical business. Guess what, the second and third world countries continue. 7-In defense of closed US businesses noted above. It was not that those industries sat on their thumbs and did nothing, but pollute for the hell of it. Hundred of millions of dollars were spent on "state of the art polution equipment" to mitigate the problems of old and included in all new designs. The problem was the the EPA standards were so high only in a pristine laboratory settings could those standards be approached and replicated. 8-Fortunite for the Zip Clinton/EPA of the 1990s they could shut down anything they wanted. On the other end of the seesaw... a new industry was born to balance the off-sets...the digital world/internet. Made easy by another Bill with his Windows, a couple Steve(s)and a Ron at Apple, and others that petered out along the way. 9-The pp/EPA 21st Century does not have this tremendous counter balance to right the teeter-todder. Hello Houston! We have a problem!
