11/12/2009 - Fry's & Safeway Strike, Unions

Published: Nov. 13, 2009, 2 a.m.

If Fry's (Kroger) and Safeway don't meet the economically unrealistic demands of the union by Friday at 6pm, the union will be forcing their members to strike.  We discuss the role of unions and how in many cases they distort the market. Earlier this week, a listener emailed in a question; "Is God a libertarian?"  He provided evidence supporting the affirmative.  We also discussed the presence of a gene in the human species that appeared 200,000 years ago, which appears to be the cause of our communicative abilities, and what uniquely separates humans from all other animal species.
