Article, issue 1 blog
From issue 1, the issue stated is that if the NSA is helping figure out tracking terrorist plans, and keeping information classified and declassified to the public. But it raises the controversy of how much should the public know? and or for the public's own good, and own safety....Does the government want you to know or think you are not qualified or educated enough to know. this is what was raised in speculation when reading this article. California Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman and senator Dianne Feinstein (democrat-California) stood by the NSA program saying that it helped exploit over 50 terrorist plots and have helped oversight some of the terrorist plots from ever reaching exploitation and or going as planned. She stated "I can tell you that I believe the oversight we have conducted is strong and effective and I am doing my level best to get more information declassified. Please know that it is equally frustrating to me as it is to you, that I cannot provide more detail on the value these programs provide and the strict limitations placed on how this information is used."
That was said by the senator her self how ever some viewers raise the argument that the NSA program its self does not bring in enough information to track down these terrorist plots. Tho stated by the senator that the plan is working, it is controversial on how much information brought in by this program that should be declassified to the public. As of now, most information of terrorist schemes are classified privately by the government.

From reading the article on the fast food strike which occurred recently on August 29th, the workers have made it clear that they want some rights re-standard. Some of the request that was stated in the article in which was striked for was to increase wages, respect, communication, water, and air conditioned kitchens. This request of air conditioned kitchens, respect and water, is all understandable and realistic, but higher wage for 15$ per hour, is asking for a bit much. I believe that Mc Donalds is at a fault if water, air conditioned kitchens and respect is not a common for it's employees. But Mc Donalds CEO stated that the jobs are not for those who want to raise a family but the opportunity for teenagers. The employees are the employees, not the CEO, so they shouldn't argue the salary of the CEO at 13 million per year to what they make at minimum wage of 8.50$ an hour. Its not a fair comparison. its not fair because the CEO is the CEO for a reason, and not the employee.
The labor and work that consist of the job is not worth 15$ an hour. This is hard to accept but the truth that the job of Mc Donalds is used in the references in which it is used in. The argument of McDonalds is that it is not a job worth 15$ an hour.
