They haven't fired them. They're beginning to attempt to start to replace them.

"Rutgers University professor Todd Vachon, who teaches classes about labor relations, said he's not sure the company will be able to hire enough workers to replace the ones who are out on strike in the current economy, and Kellogg's may have a hard time finding people willing to cross a picket line."

If they are permanently replacing the old workers that pretty much means they no longer have a job.

So yes. They have been fired. Kellogg has announced that.

In an economy where finding workers is really tough, where target, walmart, etc have had to raise min wage to 15+ and add free college tuition....

They cannot fire the employees in question, they can only replace them 1:1 and w/ the amount of publicity, and the striking it's bound to deter a lot of potential applicants, and with people using automated and manual methods to spoof applications --some presumably locally even going through the entire application process, going through training, and quitting day one on the floor... seems to me like it'll bleed Kellogg's dry long before they ever find the employees they need to continue.

They're more likely to fully automate 100% of the plant before they find the staff they need for permanent replacements.

I'm seriously betting Kellogg's does a full reversal, esp when profits start to fall, and revenue expectations get dwarfed by the boycotts that are ongoing.

Personally, I can do without ever buying poptarts, eggo waffles, or any of their cereal. There's plenty of alternative junk food out there to fill the gap.

100% of the USDs that the federal government spends originate from the federal government. Money doesn't grow on taxpayers.

In fact, it's the citizens responsibility to return the dollars via taxation... One way to interpret government debt is that money is a claim to the entire economy of the country and thus money does not create real wealth, it just makes real wealth liquid.

It's from selling books. What is your point?

do you know of something similar that has threading?

I'd be the first to use something like that. Looks like I'm not the only one - https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/837

Isn't that true for every language?

Nope. Most languages have no written standard, and some have more than one (E.g., American vs. British vs. Australian English, or Nynorsk vs. Bokmal Norwegian).
