Boy Howdy, these left-wing activists are sure feeling empowered now with their victory over the Mozilla CEO.   The San Francisco activists now demand Google pay $3,000,000,000 (billion) as compensatory indulgence fees for their services and environmental impacts. The extortion demand is requested to be paid to the Anarchist Movement for distribution in/around the Bay Area to affected fellow leftists.

Quite odd, but then again – this is “San Francisco”.

(Via Huffington Post) San Francisco is no stranger to raucous anti-tech demonstrations, but a protest outside of Google Ventures partner Kevin Rose’s home yesterday took a turn for the personal.
Protesters held up banners and dispersed fliers (pictured left) outside Rose’s San Francisco home reading “KEVIN ROSE: PARASITE,” and blaming the Google Ventures partner and Digg founder for having a hand in San Francisco’s escalating affordability crisis.
The protest appears to have been staged by a group called The Counterforce, which took credit for the protest on the activist website IndyBay and on the blog kevinroseisaterribleperson.wordpress.com, where they requested Google pay a ransom for its effect on the city’s soaring rents. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Typical of quasi-socialist euro weenies to force individuals into the collective.   This German mindset is the same ideology which mandates months of vacations for the collective and diminishes individual effort and exceptionalism at every turn.   

At the diametric opposite end of the labor spectrum you have the Japanese auto workers and the principle of “Kaizen”; which was introduced to their manufacturing base with excellence taught by American W. Edwards Deming….   

TENNESSEE – Volkswagen may ignore the results of an election that saw workers at a plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., vote against unionizing under the United Auto Workers, or so says a group that prides itself on “warning the public about the causes and consequences of unionization.”
The group, the Center for Worker Freedom, said Volkswagen management may toss the election results and accept authorization cards collected by the UAW in 2013.
The automaker told TheBlaze in a statement that it “doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation.” (more…)

Stuff happens.  In this case, there is a consequence of the legalization of marijuana in several states, and legalization of medical marijuana in many more.  One consequence is that U.S. citizens are legally growing marijuana, and the price of marijuana is falling.  Sounds good, right?

Because the price is dropping, Mexican farms are ceasing marijuana production, in favor of poppy growing and heroin production.  Washington Post: (more…)
