#3 The benefits alone would drown a fish. It's staggering. Should you find that information I can't understand how they lasted this long. Workers knew how to work the system. Many were bitter and egar to stick it to the company. Even when they needed the help or not. I would get that comment(needed the help or not) at the VA also, those workers just didn't belong there. Shoot, I remember Vets didn't want to go to the VA hospital for fear of not getting out the stay could be so long. I guess people will work any program for whats its worth. Teachers Union also. They learn how to work the system, always!.

#4 In a related story this week, the UP of Michigan is enjoying a resurgence in copper and iron mining; both from existing mines and exploration for new deposits. couple that with this story almost makes me think that the raw ore will be sent overseas for processing straight away.
