I'll add that it also helps if people know that, and why, they are being boycotted. That generally means you need to get the word out. I don't know the Taylor Col Democrats, but I bet Sybilla & Madashell do. Both of them are in Clark Co. I can pm their real names if you want. Also ewagner would be in the know over in that neck of the woods.

Boycotts are only effective if they are widespread and if the company is aware they are occuring. If they dont they just assume that the workers are to blame for poor performace and punish them. The GOP mindset is always that the worker is to blame.

The Ladysmith Hardee's is out of Business. I wonder if Elizabeth Riley will run against her again.

Hardee's was my place of choice during my brief stay in Neiilsville.

I have heard they are/were bad.

What's really buried in the earth, how "valuable" is the deposit, what's the quality of the "ore?"

It's universally described as low grade taconite. The Gogebic Taconite website, the last time
I looked at it, included some "magic beans and unicorn sprinkles" kind of fairy-tale language
about the effectiveness of their magnetic extraction technology. But there are no specifics and
no links to any real description of the process, or where it's also been used successfully. (Hmmm,
the lower the quality of the ore, the more difficult -- or impossible -- it is to use magnets. Because
there's not enough iron.)

Anyway, the bottom line is that U.S. Steel was willing to sell their ownership of the mineral rights
to the land for much, much, much less than the 1.5 billion dollar projected "investment" that
Gogebic is supposed to be making.

It wasn't that long ago, less than 10 years. Something doesn't add up:

And we'll hear more excuses from the polluter's whores.

So far the only jobs, or income opportunities, have been those created for political and media types.
Maybe the rest of us can help stop them in court, and through the course of the 'regulatory process.'

(As a side note, it may not be at all fair to compare political and media types with "whores." Real prostitutes
don't always get to make autonomous, informed choices about their own futures, as do persons perceived to
be above them on the social ladder. Real prostitutes -- I think, I don't know, I'm not an expert -- often display
more sensitivity and awareness of moral accountability. The comparison is insulting to prostitutes.)
