The turn of the century struggle between industrialists and workers in the late 19th and early 20th century was covered pretty well. Big business had their private armies and government sent in national guard troops to keep commerce flowing. Despite this, workers were able to get concessions and eventually the US government began to enact laws to protect workers. Unions in the US have been more political entities, rather than organizations to directly address issues between a particular company or industry and its employees. There was a realization by both sides that you can "win," by getting your candidate in office and legislate your demands, rather than negotiate at the table. Hence, participation in unions is correlated to political affiliation, of the 20 states with above average union participation, 19 voted democrat in the past presidential election; while 17 of the 20 least unionized states voted Republican. The primary vehicle to prevent unionized labor has been state level "right to work" laws, again correlated with political affiliation.
the government gave heavy industry massive handouts to build up a military machine that largely didn't exist in 1939
This was the key, and was reflected in some of the "Fair Deal" points. Government investements in infrastructure, industry, and education were viewed as a net gain economic gain. Monetary policy was also focused more on economic stability - full employment at low inflation. The post WWII US economy was not built on the back of European IOUs, but by the partnership of public and private interests. Of course, there is a lot of gray area as to what the mix should be.
The function of an economy is to divide limited resources among people with unlimited wants. Both the US and France have functioning economies, their goals are just different. US culture is focused on an individual consumerist lifestyle; in Europe it is more focused on collective stability. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, it's not like everything is all rosy in France.
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
Compared to most of the world they are. The US participated in social reforms for the worker, but the strong individualist culture prevented it from full socialism. Adopting a mixed economy at the beginning of the 20th century is one of the reasons it became so successful.
Should the poor have to give a portion of their income to the rich because now even poor people have a car, a TV, climate control in their home, clean water, refrigerated food, and cold beer?
The thing is the prequels didn't necessarily have to be a "fill in the blanks" exercise. C3PO and R2Deus Ex didn't have to be in there, neither did Yoda, Jaba, Boba Fett, Owen, Beru, Death Star, Tantiv 4 or all the other "remember me from the good movies" elements. The prequels should have been more focused on the failure of the Republic, Clone Wars action, the hubris of Obi-wan trying to train Anakin, with the Padme side love story.
For some reason I keep thinking the prequels should have been more like the HBO series "Rome." All the politics and backstabbing that leads a great republic into a great empire. The prequels had a few interesting scenes to that end, like the chancellor being controlled by bureaucrats, and "This is how liberty dies." Of course, the movie you make in your mind is always better than the actual one.
That has always existed, yes. But in parallel with that has been the idea that "the kids should get a real education so they don't end up with a crap job like mine". What if 50% of the working class families reasoned that way in the past, and much fewer of the OP's "recent immigrants" do now?
Why focus on immigrants? It's a major cultural problem even for Americans who have been here for generations. How many parents take their kids to play sports, dance, or other activities for 3-4 hours after school, then travel all over for club events on weekends? The parents are more worried about the kid making it to practice on time so he doesn't ride the bench than whether they finish their homework. At the same time they tell their kids not to believe their science teachers because the Bible is the truth. I'm pretty sure the lack of math and science education in the worst peforming states - Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana, and Alabama, is not heavily influenced by new immigrants.
The problem is once the first bullet is fired, you've got both sides litigating multiple issues accross multiple jurisdictions. Each side then has to consider the effect of any single case on the outcome of the others. Beyond that if Apple settles with Samsung, HTC will want to know the details for their defense against Apple and/or Samsung. Maybe Apple wants to play nice with Samsung because they are a supplier, but can't because it will hurt them in their case against another competitor. It's the corporate equivalent of a bar fight.
Don't go to school if you only plan on going to class and get good grades. Like you say, classroom information is usually a few steps behind industry. If you are motivated then big research universities are amazing places to get experience and network. Sign on doing research with a professor, and instead of being behind the technology curve, you'll be ahead of it. Join a competition team (robotics, programming, solar car, etc), to challenge yourself, build new skills, and demonstrate your ability to solve real world problems. There's also no better networking than a few summer months as an intern.
In flip chip there are hundreds of solder connections between the package and silicon, there are also surface mount components soldered to package. The switch from SnPb to Pb-free has opened the door to lots of proprietary flavors of solders in the class of Sn + Ag/Cu/In/Sb/Zn + dopant metals
Obviously Patrick Stewart would be good, and Vader voiced by James Earl Jones would be evil. The question is whose reflective head would cause the most lens flare.
It was brazen politically. You are conducting operations within the borders of a supposed ally without informing them. Imagine the uproar if Mexican special forces conducted a raid within the US borders to kill a drug cartel leader. If things went seriously wrong it would have been seen in a worse light than the Iranian hostage rescue attempt. Just look at how people are jumping on the administration for Benghazi. If Bin Laden wasn't there, or Pakistani security forces intervened, Pakistan wouldn't even to pretend to be our ally, Republicans would try to impeach Obama, and a chance at a second term would evaporate.

Like corporate subsidies?
How about rereleasing SWG. It along with Eve are the most unique experiences, everything else is boss farming
just big sprays of uncorrelated points, through which you could draw basically any curve you want with equal statistical probability.
So it's up to the level of the usual grad student paper.

To be fair, they had to make the sandpeople less accurate than imperial stormtroopers to keep consistent with canon.

Short term solution, the droogs will just return

You think all the scenes in Lincoln really happened?
He didn't kill vampires?
The line wasn't uttered on the air, it was printed in Dr. Spock's book on child care

Packaging in Asia is done in Malaysia and Vietnam (their largest in terms of footprint). Singapore is a fab that does flash production.
Still a million times better than "Starcrash"
Did I miss some new edition of Empire where the AT-ATs are giant teddy bears?
