One thing these companies need to be keenly aware of is that if no one is working, they will have no one to sell their products/services to. I realize profit-margins can blind these companies to a fault, but at some point, they will have to consider more than this. That's hard now, particularly when you have an entire legislature who cares not a whit for the blue-collar working class at your beck and call.

That problem is coming at us from the angle of birth rates as well. The West isn't having babies anymore. So now no one will work and there won't be as many people to buy products to begin with.

Hours before their final game of the season, the Dartmouth men's basketball team has voted to join a union, becoming the first unionized college sports team in the U.S. and opening many thorny questions about the future of college sports.

Led by Dartmouth forward Cade Haskins and guard Romeo Myrthil, the 15 players announced their intent to unionize last September, arguing that the business of college sports is different that it was a few years ago. Tuesday's vote was 13 to 2 in favor of joining SEIU Local 560.

"Today is a big day for our team. We stuck together all season and won this election," wrote Haskins and Myrthil in a statement. "Let's work together to create a less exploitative business model for college sports."
