describes how agents manipulate forums,

There was a giant circlejerk on Reddit a few days ago about this. I think basically the dude is delusional and Slashdot "censored" him because he was spamming. I don't remember the specifics, and I can't find the thread that hit the frontpage because Reddit search eats a bag of dicks. - On 24 Jul 2012

Despite record profits Caterpillar pushes 6 year pay and pension freeze,

What does having record profits have to do with the continual drive for business to try and get the cheapest costs that it can?
Did you read the article? They are cramming down pay for actual productive work and displacing the "savings" to executive compensation. So it doesn't look like they're lowering costs at all. I couldn't fit that all in the link title.
Paying executives more doesn't magically make a company more profitable. But there is plenty of evidence that cramming down pay will cost more in the long run. Look at the profit per store for Costco vs. Sam's Club. Adequately compensated workers save companies big bucks in terms of retention and turnover: http://hbr.org/2006/12/the-high-cost-of-low-wages/ar/1. I can only imagine how this is effect is multiplied as the workers skills increase, such as with machinists, as in this case. - On 17 Jul 2012

The discussions are thriving though! There are more daily comments on the discussions than ever before.
Man, the only thing I've noticed thriving is my ignore list. It seems like everyt discussion devolves into a back and forth of personal attacks like "you're a selfish uneducated jew-hating bigot!" and "you're a lazy socialist Obama dick-sucker!" Some kind of moderation is needed because when given free reign, civility goes right out the window and the end result is a Youtube comment section.
I agree the links are pretty bad now, but they are getting marginally better as more people vote.
