"I know what happens with privatization. Workers lose jobs, and the next generation of workers make less in wages. These are some of the lowest-paid workers in our country, and I want to help them," Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), a staunch labor union ally, said recently.The House privatized years ago, and has better food at better prices (huh, imagine that...).

You gotta wonder: If the DPW had two or three GUYS who did nothing but oil changes for Amherst's extensive fleet of vehicles and the town discovered it would be significantly cheaper to outsource those jobs to Jiffy Lube, would there be this hue and cry?
No way.
Providing (healthy) food to (cute) kids is WAY more compelling than providing (filthy) oil to (dirty) cars.
