We may have experienced a taste of what's coming over the past weekend when the Spanish government told striking airline workers, "Go to work or go to prison!" The Spanish army controlled the airports in Spain and instilled fear in the striking workers. As we saw, most of the workers complied and hurried back to work like the owned slaves that they are.
