It reads that but I think its incorrect because it reads at the side $ PER MILL so water is under 0.10 per mill I think ??

As a foreigner I still cannot understand how the unions got the powers they do in the USA.

Here they just negiotiate sector contracts and they offer some limited help if you have problems with your boss.

From what I read, there in the US its like the mob with their protection money.

Technically that is inacurate. The mob is much more cost effective.

Have you watched this Aaron? I know you're not a fan of PBS, but it's a very good report on the DOJ's failure to go after any big people on Wall Street.

That's for a number of reasons. The main 1 being that well what they did may have been unethical, in most cases it was not actually illegal.

That's Maggie Thatcher (British Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990) snuffed it. Notorious for being extremely controversial and, to quite a number of the British public, quite a bitch.
