I am surprised that they deployed 4 vans of the Special Operations Command - those polyurethane shields would be useless against a napalm-molotov, much less a water cannon or a fertiliser-petrol IED. Besides, it shouldn't even be counted as a strike. SMRT hires more than 5,000 employees with a bulk of them as service-leaders/staff, and if I remember correctly they planned to increase their hires by 10% in July/August. What is 102 out of 5,000? It hardly counts as a mass of workers who refuse to work; plus there is no picketing, etc. This incident being branded as a "strike" certainly makes the 1955 Hock Lee Bus Strike look like a full-scale war.

Seriously, this "education push" by the Bush's has been going on since 2000 and its really all about pushing education funding into the hands of a few buddies in the "for profit education industry". That's it. That's the underlying motive -- more looting the treasury bullshit.

They would outsource vast sums of money to private hands and then destroy or corrupt the ability to conduct oversight and accountability. Half the problems of the FDA and the Agriculture department stem from that.

We are still four years or so from the recoverly I guessed would come after the fall in 2000. I figured it take four presidental election cycles to fix. Though it might take four Presidents to fix at the rate things are going now.
