My impression is that most women public service workers have a long fuse. Precisely because they care so deeply about services more than anyone they still want to find a sensible and fair negotiated agreement. But their patience has run out.

Nature who for the perfect maintenance of the laws of her general equilibrium has sometimes need of vices and sometimes of virtues inspires now this impulse now that one in accordance with what she requires.

Nature seems at each man's birth to have marked out the bounds of his virtues and vices and to have determined how good or how wicked that man shall be capable of being.

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.

Why are people unemployed? Because there is no work. Why is there no work? Because people are not buying products and services. Why are people not buying products and services? Because they have no money. Why do people have no money? Because they are unemployed.

Having a faster thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems.
