Santa Rosa's shameless daily newspaper, The Corporate Democrat, had two long pieces this morning attacking the idea that the adult workers who deliver newspapers deserve health care and pensions. The state is legislating decent treatment for "independent" employees, and that doesn't fit the newspaper's business model, built around savings from cheap labor. (O, capitalism.)
The paper is threatening to end rural delivery, restrict city delivery and cut back on reporters. I read this already dwindling paper, mostly for the crossword, but I guess I can do what young people do. They get their news off the 'net. I can buy puzzles at the book store.
