Evening Open Thread

Here’s a couple of topics to get started with:

  • Representative Alan Grayson proves to be one of the most interesting House Members — he has introduced a bill to make paid vacation from work a requirement.
  • Banks use Life Insurance (on their employees, without their permission mostly) to Fund Bonuses.

  1. “Banks use Life Insurance (on their employees, without their permission mostly) to Fund Bonuses. ”

    I can top that one. After 9/11 my airline took $45 million from the government money each airline got because of the 4 day shut down. The $45 million came from taxpayers but was used to guarantee the pensions of senior executives while at the same time asking pilots to take massive pay cuts and abrogate all pensions.

    I hope the UAW does better.
