Of the surge in new cases. Ill have more on that in a moment. We are getting new information on the twitter hack. It wasnt just a handful of celebrities. 130 accounts were targeted and it appears to have been an inside job. That is serious stuff. Im not sure that Twitter Twitter is up, thats right. Im thinking of another stock. Okay, twitter is up just a fraction. It is serious stuff about twitter. Weve got an analyst on the show who says it might have been a test run for something much bigger. Time to drop your twitter account . We will ask the question and get an answer. More on that coming up, too. Lets get to the market.

You. When i think about this book i see it as having three major parts, after you introduce a situation now, you do a really good job of talking about through stories how workers struggled, they themselves built the middle class in this country to a great extent by organizing, by striking, bargaining through a lot of adversity and demanding more from policy changes and then you go through a lot of the hard times of what i call the reagan era which we are still in Work Companies and starting with the president of the United States really attacked workers a lot and their unions and then you tell a lot of hopeful stories about different creative and innovative ways that workers have been organizing and unions and other forms and make policy recommendations and one thing i have to say, a lot of books like this are criticized because they come up short on the policy recommendation but i hope we really get into that because you made quite a few interesting suggestions on what might be done t
Time to talk to about it. Thank you for the kind words it is great to speak with you. When i think of this book i see three major parts per go after you introduce the situation now, you do a really good job of talking about through stories how workers struggle and how they themselves have built the middle class to a great extent by organizin organizing, striking, bargaininh adversity and to demand policy changes. And then you go through the hard times of what i call the reagan era that i think were still in that companies starting with the president of the United States attacked workers a lot and they are unions and to tell a lot of hopeful stories about the creative and innovative ways workers have been organizing and make policy recommendations. A lot of books like this are criticized because they come up short on the policy recommendations because you have made a quite a few interesting suggestions of what could be done to restore the most powerful workers in this country.
