YearlyKos Update

I've got pictures I will upload but I have to find a power plug and charge up to do that. The lunch talk by Andrew Stern was strange. Here is the head of one of the biggest labor unions channeling Buckminster Fuller. Recall Fuller's contention that the age of the nation-state was over and that corporations were the new rulers? He said this in the 60s and I used to dispute it, but if a union guy is saying it for attribution, who can argue.

These were the factoids that stuck out in my mind: 25% of our work force will not have a permanent employer. A college-age kid nowadays will have between 6 and 8 jobs in their worklife. He then went on to note that large corporations have more influence on global matters than governments do.
