Darth Bobo cares NOTHING about workers and actively HATES unions. Give the man a choice of killing off a few peasants or not if it makes a rich man a few bucks he will kill them off every time. I truly believe Bobo would sell poor people by the pound for taco meat if he could get away with it</description>

		<description>The &quot;guidelines&quot; were intended to prevent any last-minute regulations that could easily be overturned before they went into effect, as happened with something like 200 last-minute Clinton regulations. There is always a waiting period (60 days?) during which the regulation is under something like probation. The minute the Bushies walked in they tossed out all the environmental regulations set up by the Clinton administration in the last month or so before the inauguration. The Bushies want their anti-environmental, anti-labor, anti-regulatory regulations to stick.</description>
