Why They're On Strike

http://www.thenewstribune.com/opinion/othervoices/story/484625.html

I really like the point that a company that does "systems integration" as its only skill is an all-overhead company. What value does that add? "We're really good at making things out of Lego bricks." Um. That's nice. Can't I make my own things out of Legos?

Boeing used to make the Legos, then put them together. So anyone who wanted to make their own toys had to figure out how to make Legos, and then put them together. Now Boeing is training other people how to make Legos, and... I guess just hoping no one will notice that anyone can put Legos together, not just Boeing.
