HuffPo Bloggers go on Strike - Arianna says "no one notices" to strikers

I can't recall her words enough to even paraphrase her, primarily because I don't listen to her that often. So I won't attempt to put words in her mouth. But a few years ago when HuffPo was just finding its stride in the mainstream, and when Bill Maher wasn't insulting women and teenage girls and calling over a hundred million Americans disgusting names (he was still an a-hole though; just funnier), I used to check out the show on HBO every Friday and Huffington's views were quite clear when she'd sit there grumbling. I'm allowing my mind to imagine Rush Limbaugh's blog. I don't know if he has one. I don't listen to nor have a great deal of respect for the guy. But I'm imaging a world in which Rush sold his blog for over a quarter-billion and hounded the money like the right-wing greedmonger he is. Huffington would probably lead the charge in calling for him to share that wealth and to "fairly" compensate those bloggers whose talents were lended for free to make the blog profitable. She'd be speaking at rallies about how this is yet another example of the greedy capitalist pigs in America devaluaing work done for them. She'd probably reference the bloggers as slaves and Rush the slavemaster. So, marry to get rich. Exploit (in a bad way, enabling lies and hatred) people to get rich. Don't give anything back. Mark the calendar for next week to fly privately to Ohio to make a speech about America needing wealth redistribution and for workers to be treated more fairly. I probably do not agree with any of these bloggers striking. Some of them are probably some nasty and meanspirited basement-dwellers who sweat and panic when taking the trash out. But I think they should get some of the money. The people who make the company what it is deserve compensation for any merger or any buyout. A "blog" is no different at all. It's not like these people were simply traffic. They are why the traffic arrives. They are the content providers. And working online for going on four years now, content is king, far, far beyond any catchy name. Bestnameonearth.com is worthless it's sitting there with blank pages. Someone might say "Oh, that's a great name, how about $3 million for it?" Sure. But that's not close to $315. Legally, if they weren't contracted to do the work and volunteered, then I personally wouldn't fuss that they should be paid. That is what it is. But it's awfully amusing that Huffington wouldn't share her now incredibly enormous wealth with individuals who helped make it. Maybe she'll throw them all some loot and make me eat crow. It doesn't sound like she will though.

I'm eager to see the many liberals on this site that worship the Huffington Post and constantly treat it like some sort of reputable source instead of a blog. Heck, on another forum (not mylot) someone called me an idiot for telling them it was a blog. Of course I was then called a racist, anti-muslim fascist, and other things that left wing extremists love to scream, but I digress. Simply put, they were volunteers and are owed nothing. I've volunteered for many different organizations. They've all been non-profit so they can't really be sold, but if they were to be sold, I wouldn't be whining about how my contribution was so great that I should get some profit. I worked for free and I knew exactly what I was doing. I was never under any illusion that I would be financially rewarded for the organization's success no matter how well I did. I did hope that my volunteering would lead to a paying job, which in a few cases it did, but that's a different thing entirely. Since most of their bloggers are left wing extremists who are all for this wealth redistribution crap, I can at least give them credit for holding her accountable. If that's the agenda she supports than she's a hypocrite for not distributing her own wealth to the contributors of her site.

For me strike is not the only reason to success of life if it is with not the blessing of Jehovah God then your life is full of thief in the government.
