DIY Hybrid Car Kit

Actually there's a legal Motor Vehicle Saftey Standard (MVSS) requirement from Transport Canada stating that they must meet crash requirements before they may be certified as road legal. Having pursued interest in Factory Five kit cars myself, they had to prove crash-worthiness (destroy 3 of them) before they could sell kits in Canada. These include things like airbags, disc brakes, braking distance, bumper size and momentum absorbed into the bumper....you get the picture.

Back when the mainframe crashed people knew how to use pen and paper, they could read charts, they would fill & file books. Now if IT goes down, so too does the entire line of business, the bean counters then use the salary of every useless employee per hour as an estimate of what the business is wasting while IT's down. If you are in finance and you run a proptrating floor that is used in a hedge fund to ensure the future of some small pension fund say the CAW, the Teachers, the Doctors or whomever then that number quickly becomes very important.

Should IT Unionize?

Sadly in this business with all the rent-seeking monopolies there is no such thing as "Vendor Neutral" standards since most of them are "Vendor Driven".
it's usually because geeks are more interested in the problems solution than money.:/ I hear the meso-limbic pathway is a litte more sensitive in smart people.
Most people forget that in the East and Mid East of North America (Here in Canada during the 1920's) unions used to travel around with bats and mobs "Recruiting" miners and loggers. If you didn't join they took your knees.
Unions exists for one purpose and one purpose alone, to extort a second tax from you under the guise of protecting you from big bad business.
If your job sucks and anyone can do it than it's not very valuable; if you feel like your being extorted, abused or underpaid then find a new job! (or sue your employer for said abuse under local employment law)
if it took you 10 years of school and 3 years of practice then your making a killing.
The truth of the matter is labour will always go where it's cheapest & efficient logistical supports exist to make that distance (from product to market) viable.
By it's very Nature Information Technology is "Anti-Union" due to the fact that as a whole we are an industry of problem solvers; and as such we see all the problems unions cause with companies like GM, American Airlines and others that are facing bankruptcy as the result of labor costing more than the raw materials or services of the market.
Also as a result; the crappy IT jobs get outsourced, when was the last time a new call center opened up in your area? Is programming really a necessary skill in the modern and forth coming industry? (since emerging nations will do it at 1/10 the cost?)
You living for 10 to 15 years after your retirement. Now the average age is rising thanks to medical science and the quality of your life has improved so you live longer, and will require more money.
It's part of the male human psyche possibly hard wired to the part that also likes guns, large loud vehicles and lawn mowers big enough to sleep on; and anything else that is overly expensive and a status symbol, to show to our potential mates that we are virile and potentially good providers, even though the devices themselves are well beyond useless otherwise. Mutch like a baboon we love to be territorial.
Libertarians are inherently anti government subsidy, let the market decide! If you are unemployed it's because you are useless! RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

And if no one was in the playpen would it make noise?
