No Labor Protests in San Diego
Maybe, but it is not that big of a spread. Safeway has had MAJOR labor troubles the last decade, and this is why I have no problem with labor unions and collective bargaining in the private sector-there actually is BARGAINING that goes on, with labor strikes and lock outs and both sides hammering out a deal.— March 20, 2011 11:14 p.m.

No Labor Protests in San Diego
Of course, this article also ignores the fact that the most oppressed workers in San Diego are often those who don't speak English and aren't familiar with American labor traditions. If both English- and Spanish-speaking low-wage workers banded together, something could happen... ==== Are you for real! EVERYONE gets paid LESS in San Diego, it is the "sunshine tax". . . Unfortunately San Diego is a pretty racist place. Read the comments on any local news site and you'll see proof. ====== Yes, some stoopid posts by a handful of stoopid people means everyone in San Diego is "racist". And that never happens anywhere but San Diego. Not NY, not LA, not Chi-town, not DC. Thank you for that whopper lie; "An informal fallacy is an argument whose stated premises fail to support their proposed conclusion. The deviation in an informal fallacy often stems from a flaw in the path of reasoning that links the premises to the conclusion. In contrast to a formal fallacy, the error has to do with issues of ratiocination manifest in language used to state the propositions; the range of elements that can be symbolized by language is broader than that which the symbolism of formal logic can represent. . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_fallacy . . . Instead, we should look at median personal and median household income for a more accurate look at the state of inequality in San Diego. ============ Well, you finally got one right!— March 20, 2011 2:44 p.m.
No Labor Protests in San Diego
The big grocery chains such as Safeway are losing to Wal-Mart in great part because Safeway employees are paid well ============ As a former union checker at Safeway, I can verify 100% that Wal-Mart and others-like Costco/Price Club, Smart and Final, Sam's Club and others have cut into Safeway's market share bigtime. Safetway wages have be stagnent for at least 15 years, and with inflation are probably down 50% from 25, 30 years ago when I was there. Baggers were paid at least 50% above the minimum wage, today they're minimum wage. Checkers started at $7.18 an hour when I was there in 84, and tapped out at $12.50. I think the top wage today, 27 years later, is the $15-$18 range, which like I said is far less after inflation adjusted— March 20, 2011 2:37 p.m.
Local Law Firm Looking into Bridgepoint
Clark, if he'd wanted to, could have pointed at the few of its students who actually complete a degree or preparatory sequence, and claim that without Bridgepoint, they would never have been served at all. Under this ethic, that would mean that they had succeeded, not failed. It's all in how you spin it. Clark is a pretty effective spinner when he wants to be. ================== Oh, I wish he would do this and I was there to tear him a new one. Again, I would point at the 95 who failed, at a cost to taxpayers of millions of dollars in student loans, loans that will never be paid back, loan money that went into Bridgepoint's back pocket, and then say helping one while causing catastraphic financial damage to hundreds of others and the taxpayers is not a good return on investment for society.— March 20, 2011 2:30 p.m.

Coronado Lawyer Shaber Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion
The government offered Craig 18 month plea deal or they would charge his ex-wife and recharge the taxes so if he was convicted he would spend the rest of his life in prison. It truly does not take an expert in game theory to understand Mr. Shaber had no choice! That is a fact in the US criminal "Just Us" system. If you want to avail yourself of the constitutional protections the government will destroy you! If Craig's cowardly former accountant is lying about doing his taxes, what does this tell you about who is really guilty??!! ============ Craig Shaber-if this was the lie you say it was, then you should have gone to trial. Going to trial is showing the gov you have a backbone and won't get railroaded because you beleieve you are right. If you signed a plea deal then you lose the right to say you're innocent.— March 20, 2011 2:25 p.m.
