It seems (fertile) women were not permitted to work in the battery factory because the owners were afraid they would be sued for birth defects by women who might come into contact with the lead used in the batteries. A bunch of women sued instead because they weren't allowed to work there. The company lost the case. Afterwards the company asked the Judge if the ruling grants them immunity from being sued for birth defects for these women who CHOOSE to work in the battery factory. The Judge said, no. They MUST let women work there, and they CAN be sued if any of the women have children with birth defects caused by lead. <br /><br />The company's response ? They moved the factory to Mexico. <br /><br />I would have done the same thing. <br /><br /><br />DavidRavingDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671059573191161552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-12160592284404623182009-05-05T03:28:00.000+00:002009-05-05T03:28:00.000+00:00Hi 99,
Please consider where the money to pay for...Hi 99,<br /><br />Please consider where the money to pay for the increase in the sales-tax will be coming from. <br /><br />If you don't see yourself as a <I>seller</I>, do you see yourself as a <I>consumer</I>? The seller does not have any money that he does not get from the consumer, and a sales-tax can only come from that transaction. Thus an increased sales-tax can only come from the consumers payments. <br /><br />Obviously, the seller will need to have his expenses covered (if not, then he won't bother selling), so the only way an increase in sales-tax can be implemented is as a price-hike.<br /><br />Thus while the <I>tax</I> itself is anti-business, the one paying it is the consumer.<br /><br />It's <I>you</I> who won't get new furniture for your yacht this year, as you're the one who would be paying the sales tax, and holding the bag.<br /><br />-SUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161314263975554730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-16022946355374939552009-05-05T00:58:00.000+00:002009-05-05T00:58:00.000+00:00Grumbling Repugnicans.

Like the pharaohs that promised all the laborers that their reward would be awaiting them in the afterlife. <br /> <br />Most large corporations have cashed in on offshore tax loopholes for much too long. They treat their workers like shit. Why do you Executives love to ship American jobs overseas? <br /><br />Oh I forgot: Summer's almost here and you need new furniture for the yacht.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-66240806227110494862009-05-05T00:44:00.000+00:002009-05-05T00:44:00.000+00:00Obama is indeed a constitutional scholar.

I no longer believe Obama's destructive policies are accidental and due to naivete--it's becoming clearer every day that he is walking a tightrope of destroying as much of America's traditional structure as he can get away with without causing excessive alarm.Tom Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998611274249390948noreply@blogger.com
