Wal-Mart Loses Bid to Dismiss Sex-Discrimination Case
The retail giant Wal-Mart has lost an effort to dismiss the largest class-action employment discrimination case in US history. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court upheld a ruling that Wal-Mart face a lawsuit alleging discrimination against female employees. Taking the case to trial could expose Wal-Mart to paying billions in damages. Wal-Mart is lobbying against a class-action suit and wants each case tried individually.
Democracy NOW!
Now there is a enemy even The Doctor might have a problem with. I compare fights against Wal-Mart like the fights coal mine workers had trying to get justice with the mine owners. If suits are not brought against them as groups or bundles then Wal-Mart will brazenly roll over anyone who gets in their way individually.
If you are as big of a Neil Gaiman fan as I am you may wish to check this out.
This goes right up there with stories of Poe sleeping on his loves grave as being one of the most romantic things I have seen or read about in my life. Also make me think of Spike's many lines about love on Buffy, "I maybe loves bitch but at least I admitt it." being my favorite.
You know what sort of gets under my skin? People all the time get all up in arms about how much celebrities or professional sports athletes make but when do we stop getting up into their skins for just making money spurred on by our demands for their brands and get into how much politicians and political parties spend on things like just getting a job! I mean come one. Does this system make sense to anyone? Lets say I want a job at McDonalds. {nothing wrong with it, I worked there. It‘s hard work.} If I’m trying to get hired on at McDonalds do I go out and raise money to help promote myself and sale myself to the bosses? No. Politicians will never have the trust of the American people again and it is leveling down more and more every day until they start treating voters more like their bosses and less like customers. There is a difference. Think about it. I know you can do it little fella.

um how about no fucking way on that marathon :-P
i was quite please about the walmart ruling yesterday.
Nice analogy regarding politicians. I never thought about it that way, but you're absolutely right. I would never promote myself to a potential employer the way politicians try to sell themselves to the public.
