In a few years, drones will be everywhere because they can provide valuable service.

"Emma Maris reports in Nature how unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, are starting to catch on among scientific researchers who are using them to keep tabs on volcanoes, track endangered species, hunt down weeds, and a range of other uses. At the same time, engineers are designing ever-more sophisticated drones that can navigate and collect data autonomously."

I bet the NSA puts backdoors in all of them to spy on us as well as perform their nominal function. The government will rarely need to fly its own drones.

Firghting for pensions has worked out for some Delphi employees.

"On June 1, some salaried retirees began receiving two pension payments a month instead of one. A second payment is coming from Prudential Insurance Co. of America, based on an annuity General Motors purchased years ago with retirement contributions paid by workers. The annuity reflects those contributions."

I bet taxpayers are paying for this.
