#1 So tell them to go ahead and blow it up. And good luck finding another job.

#3 Take away unemployment and welfare support and watch rationality take hold. When you give people an palatable alternative to work, they play stupid little power games. There a gulf of difference between 'he who will not work' with 'he who can not work'.

#4 Actually, the online comic I like www.girlgeniusonline.com has the perfect punishment for them.

Put them in giant glass jars in town square, allow there to be air exchange though so they won't suffocate but basically let them starve and bake in the sun.

As Agatha put it best "And I'll come every single day while you bake in the sun and starve and claw at the glass and scream as you die slowly like the miserable rats you are!"

#5 You're thinking of the Medieval "Bird Cage", the prisoner was locked inside and left to rot, or be eaten by the birds, no food, no water (Unless it rained) Nothing.

#6 Yes, but they were exposed to the weather in crow's cages as they were called. In a nice glass jar, there's no breeze to cool you down.

#9 Half of punishment is the actual punishment. The other half is that it is seen. You can't see through steel so you can't watch them.

Watching them and going, "Boy I'm glad that's not me." is partly the point.

#10 I understand your point,but you misunderstand mine, the STEEL is an open cage, the GLASS is an enclosed "Bottle".

Glass is hard to clean, the stel cage needs NO such "Cleaning.

Remember people poop and pee, bleed and rot?
In a glass bottle, to reuse you must be at least steamed out to see inside, a cage, nothing.

#11 Agree to the demands. The the owners blow up the plant and then fire all of the workers.

What? Onnly the workers can blow up the plant?
