Let me help you with that then.

All White People Are Racist

Clearly your job is to warn everyone of the impending zombie apocalypse

It's also happened fairly recently before the game came out, warning people about the city being closed because it's too hot, zombies, and GODZILLA.

but the union have agreed to give him absolutely everything he wants in terms of pay and benefit cuts.

The unions have yet to agree to reduce their power to negotiate. So they haven't given him "absolutely everything" he wants in terms of pay and benefit cuts. He's not just looking for budget cuts this fiscal year, but the long term fiscal health of Wisconsin as well. Public unions are incompatible with that.

The main problem is regulatory capture. The government officials who supposedly negotiate terms with the public union can instead become owned by them. In return, public unions can funnel considerable sums of money to the politicians they own. For example, the mayor of Madison, Wisconsin has abandoned any pretense of representing the people of Madison.

âoeWe are marching together in unity,â Cieslewicz said. âoeThis shows what can happen when the executive and the legislative branches of government work together with both union and non-union employees to protect their rights and benefits. This is the tradition of collective bargaining in Wisconsin.â

Where did the tradition of representative government go?

As long as public unions can maintain this cozy relationship with public officials, you'll have a dynamic to increase the flow of public funds to public unions and their members at the expense of the public. In the private world, this is balanced by the different interests of the business owners and the fact that the business goes bankrupt if the union demands too much.

I have yet to hear of an alternative aside from removing public unions from being able to negotiate terms of employment, that can permanently break this dynamic.

Just posting that as it's evidence that even in cooler outdoor ambient temperatures, the temperature inside a vehicle can skyrocket, and indeed be deadly. Of course, a 4month old child is going to be more susceptible to these kind of things, but they too have to ride in cars sometimes.

Well, this just happened two months ago....

Something similar was just on the Madison local news.

I live in Madison and I didn't heard anything about this.
