The Robot-union dodge is completely bogus. All off-planet robotic sites have been right-to-work since Reagan deregulated the industry. L4 has been given to Haliburton under a no-bid contract to develop a base for the Reticulian attack on Earth in 2012, just as the Mayans predicted. If you think black helicopters are a-comin-a-gitcha, you ain't seen nothin' yet: Think black flying saucers. As a result, the New World Wal-Mart will be on L5, not L4, and it will NOT be unionized. PS: remember that L4 and L5 are *moving* points, tracing tadpole-shaped orbits ahead of and behind Earth on its orbit, so the nearest New World Wal-Mart could be as much as a quarter orbit behind Earth at any given time.
