Based on her most recent post at the site,it looks like she took some of her coats to NY for OWS then got a little overwhelmed. It doesn’t sound like she’s ready to produce coats in the hundreds or thousands quantities, but maybe if she had the demand, it would give her a little shove? I think you should call her Jane.

Her empowerment plan goals:

The goals of the Empowerment Plan are:
to employ homeless females within the city of Detroit
to give coats or the Element S coat to individuals living on the streets
to establish trust and communication with individuals deemed by the shelters as unreachable in the homeless community for example the mentally impaired
to teach sewing manufacturing/ production skills to people that need jobs
to offer a sense of pride to the women who have been employed in the production of the coats.

What about Veronika Scott’s sleeping bag coats? I wonder how many she has capacity to make? It looks like she’s still in Detroit.

Keith had Bob Reich scheduled to talk about OccupyCal after Dorli Rainey, but instead let Dorli Rainey tell her story through his Reich time. Good choice. Classy move. Her story of recognizing the opportunity to teach people on the bus when she must have still been in pain was inspiring. An example for all of us. Glad I happened to tune in.

What you’re describing is a problem with the management side of the collective bargaining process. Your solution to the problem is to enact laws to handicap worker side of the process. Outrageous. If the process you describe is “unfair”, it’s “unfair” because the management side is weak. Solve that problem at the ballot box, not by crippling the worker side of the process.

You haven’t offered any proof of any “payoffs” you’re claiming if you don’t mean campaign contributions or lobbyists. Sounds like good old sour grapes to me.

In hindsight, all of us who just laid down and took it when corporate America told us we had to accept pay and benefits cuts to keep our jobs in the 2000′s should have fought back.

In my county, your average person has trouble finding a $50,000 job. But, many, many city and county employees make near and over $100,000.

If that’s true, then it shows the city and county employees collectively bargain for better salaries than your “average person” bargains alone. You just made the argument for strong unions.

Yeah, campaign contributions bad when they come from the unions, good when they come from Lehman Brothers. Who you think funded Kasich’s campaign?

If you think the management side of the table is bargaining poorly on your behalf, the answer is to tell them to bargain better or replace them at the voting booth, not eliminate the bargaining.

Collective Bargaining isn’t a hostage negotiation, it’s a two-sided transaction. The bargaining ain’t done until both sides agree. Both sides. Kasich et al want to end the bargaining instead of learning how to bargain harder. Kasich’s not only for the 1%, trying to drive the responsibility for even the most basice services down to the small property tax payer, he’s mean-spirited and a nasty individual. Last year, Kasich’s own campaign learned the more Kasich talked, the less people liked him, so they pretty much kept him under wraps after Sept.

Bristol told her that she wanted to date Levi again. Sarah called to set up a meeting. Levi’s account of 2010 is not accurate.

Is that you Willow?

One of Todd’s relatives is named Trig.

Really? Which relative?

Been cheering for you Joe in interviews. You’ve faced some rude questioning with grace and wit. Your answer here about anonymous sources is spot on and I hope you can incorporate it into future interviews, because that seems to be the Palin supporter talking point about the book that anonymous sources are not valid.

Social Sec and Medicare are really sensitive hot-button topics and FDLers are passionate.

Welcome to FDL chunkie and what happens when one doesn’t support the party line here! No worries, it’s not you. I was once told to go back to romper room and worse when I stated a Sense of the House statement in a piece of legislation didn’t mean what the proprietor said it did. Turns out I was right. Never heard an apology or an admission of who was in error.

I’m a member. (Pile on, I don’t give a shit.) I called and said if it’s true, I want to cancel my membership. The nice lady said it’s not true, AARP is going to respond, she didn’t know when so I told her I would wait to read their response.

Agree. The narcissist doesn’t care what the baby needs, it what she needs from him.

Oo, there’s more tomorrow? Thank you for this Geoffrey and thanks for hosting ET. I pre-ordered and now I can’t wait to get it!

I’m going to repeat my ? from 135 because you seem to be answering later questions:

135
Geoffrey ( and ET too if you have an opinion) which lie of Sarah Palin’s do you believe is the worst and/or most likely to end her career and do you think the Republicans know how to use it to help bring it?
