number crunching

hc's picture

From the way different topic file,
I think that number crunching would be a
great service for presumptive union supporters. Assuming that there is anyone
who would do this for free. I'm just throwing it out there as an idea. Like for
example people who are good at statistics
and using sas, or stata or similar. Frequently unions feel they could prove something or another with some data they
have gotten but may not have a lot of people
on board who know much about statistics.

People oftentimes think of web sites and
then run headfirst into the problem that
people can be very cagey about what goes
on a web aite. So they often end up with little. But there's probably a lot more computer-related things that need to be done if people got away from the web site
thing, IMHO.
Certainly there are many possibilities with games and alternate reality type environments. Anyone who knows how to program games could get all the ideas in the world to promote unions, I think.
