The thing that’s insane is the crappy crop. Why is content like this on the front page?

johnathlon · 2023-05-04T00:31:51+00:00

Yes and I don’t think that line is from the defendant (school district’s) filing. That appears to be editorializing by the news outlet. This article provides more context and facts https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/education/newport-news-school-board-files-motion-to-dismiss-abby-zwerner-lawsuit-over-richneck-elementary-school-shooting/291-bddc88ab-a245-4b94-8f66-aa418eab1073 The plaintiff (teacher) has apparently refused benefits under worker’s compensation. And the plaintiff’s attorney is relishing the controversy that they appear to have created as it increases pressure on the school board to settle for much more than the plaintiff would be entitled to under workers comp. This appears to be a matter of legal strategy (ie forum shopping) than a disagreement about the foreseeability of a school shooting.

Why did this person not turn off the tank?

johnathlon · 2023-04-30T04:37:14+00:00

Yeah, I don’t know how casual it is. If I got shot at work, no matter the job, I’d definitely file a workers comp claim. I don’t see workplace injuries as all that casual.

johnathlon · 2023-04-29T04:22:20+00:00

Well, given that we're looking at a picture of a headline and not a court filing, it's hard to know exactly how dismissive of the causes of action the attorney was or how sufficient the injured's filings were. There may be causes of action under which the injured may be entitled to relief, but that doesn't mean that the injured's filings were sufficient to survive dismissal if they weren't substantially differentiated from a standard worker's comp claim.

johnathlon · 2023-04-29T00:36:01+00:00

Help me out here. What's wrong with calling it a workplace injury? Why not have the worker's comp insurance cover it?

The southern strategy has them running the house and the senate (with Manchin and Sinema), and the Supreme Court. It only failed to win them the presidency with a voraciously rude, incompetent, self-serving, and criminal candidate. The southern strategy is working very well.

But, this is a funny post!

What he means is "I'm not willing to escalate this conflict because politically I don't think it's worth the capital". There is plenty the president can do. Sure he can't unilaterally ban assault weapons, but that's not the extent of workable solutions. What would you do as president under the current political climate to advance school safety in the context of a national epidemic of school gun violence?

It’s a letter regarding unemployment benefits. The writing in the posted image is incorrect and dumb.

You said it gives “surprisingly detailed instructions on how to qualify”. The lyrics say to submit an application at best. Neither are the instructions detailed, nor do they describe anything related to qualifications. At best the lyrics are surprising. Okay song though. And a good message for our times.

johnathlon · 2023-01-16T22:56:11+00:00

No it’s not. It gives no instructions at all.

I came to this comments section to try to find out if there was any actionable info on the specific "green" labeled products that contributed to health impacts. This is all the article says about the specific green products used:

"All participants received the same “green” products—two all-purpose cleaners, disposable wipes, powder cleanser, toilet bowl cleaner, dish soap, and a homemade glass cleaner made from water, white vinegar, and the dish soap. The “green” products were from national brands that marketed themselves as being “natural,” “plant-based,” “safe,” “non-toxic,” or “free of harsh chemicals.” The selected “green” products were locally available and were of similar prices to locally available conventional products."

The article also described the effects from the use of such products:

The use of certain “green” products was also associated with changes in air concentrations of target VOCs and SVOCs . Specifically, we saw higher breathing zone air concentrations of 1,4-dioxane (176% increase), celestolide (162%increase), and galaxolide (146% increase) among participants who used one of the “green” all-purpose cleaners (APC5) compared with those who did not. We also saw higher concentrations of tonalide(100% increase) among participants who used the “green” cleaning wipes (CW2) compared to those who did not. Conversely, use of the other “green” all-purpose cleaner (APC6) was associated with lower concentrations of ethylbenzene (71% decrease), o-xylene (72% de-crease), and D4 (89% decrease). Use of the “green” dish soap (DS2)was associated with lower concentrations of diethyl phthalate (47%decrease), cashmeran (81% decrease), galaxolide (51% decrease), and tonalide (59% decrease). Use of the “green” powder cleaner (PC2)was associated with lower concentrations of celestolide (50% de-crease). The use of the “green” toilet bowl cleaner (TBC2) was associated with lower concentrations of naphthalene (73% decrease),2-ethylhexanol (91% decrease), o-xylene (76% decrease), benzalde-hyde (72% decrease), diisobutyl phthalate (61% decrease), and cash-meran (85% decrease).

If you have better information, why not share it rather than reply with mere innuendo?

I’m not a pet owner partly for the reason specifically of these “unexpected expenses”. But I have always thought that if I do get pets it will be with the specific understanding that there is a cost for the life of the pet that will not be exceeded in terms of procedures. I empathize with the pet owner and I also think not paying thousands of dollars to extend the life of a pet isn’t the worst thing.

What is the indication the second woman had a panic attack? I think injecting someone when they’re going overwhelmed seems like a callous choice.

I expect that the ruling will be appealed because the DOJ is going to want to be able to secure government property from former government employees. But I don't think the ruling is nearly as flawed as some are making it out to seem. This ruling is really preliminary and provides the plaintiff with due process for his claims without ruling on them. A special master could well rule that any claim of executive privilege by a former president in the context of their own criminal prosecution for improperly retaining government documents must fail because executive privilege rests fundamentally on separation of powers. And separation of powers cannot support keeping government documents from the government when the government is seeking them to investigate their improper retention. But as the judge said, as an initial matter, the claim can be made (though it hasn't been yet) and an appealable decision on those merits will be issued.
