if a poor person sues apple, then the proportioned 50/50 will have apple paying for the plaintiffs defense. The more cash apple throws at the fight, the more they will have to give to the plaintiff for the plaintiff's defense.
If Apple is in the right, then they win, and the poor defendant is on hook for the entire bill.
This insures that the rich megacorps only fight when they really have the high ground. This would also eliminate harassment lawsuits since if you are just being a dick, you're going to lose everything.
Have you ever sued someone? It costs money, it takes years, and if you might prevail to the tune of a return, the llc just declares bankruptcy, then it takes more money, more time, and in my case, I couldn't stop the bankruptcy.
That was with a small firm - Ramp that up and you are fighting against lots of lawyers with lots of time and lots of nod and winks since the Judge was a lawyer too.
Unless "loser pays" is adopted in the US (with the cost being 50/50 paid for in a ratio that reflects the plaintiff and defendants income), the winners will always be the ones with the deepest pockets.
Large corporations will be forced to settle rather than dominate in that case as losing a case that they know they are in violation for will be catastrophic since they have to pay up the full tab and cover the lawyers expenses for the opposing party.
After being a teacher in Joliet , Illinois system and seeing what passes for teaching and parental involvement in the Chicago land area I can quite firmly state that it isn't the money taxpayers spend, the technology that is invested in the area, nor the opportunities that students have that is the real issue.
The real issue is that there needs to be a clean out of lazy teachers and administration that refuses to interact with parents- a gallon of bleach dumped into the leach pool.
These children need people to intervene and make sure to involve the parents in all aspects of their education. Instead, we have more people involved on getting paid and protecting their pension.
You are on a public road. You have no right to privacy. It's the law of the land.
You can naysay that all you want - but anyone with a camera has the right to film public areas. If you don't want to be filmed - stay on private property.
And yet there is the evil George Soros which is the boogeymen of the left....
As an American, I'm sick and tired of the straw horses being trotted out by both sides. It's time to flush the toilet and kick both sides out. Obama just got a new "shellacking" and the democrat in power that helped move legislation which caused the "shellacking" promptly blamed the other side and said "ya'll should be working with us".
Cut spending, Stop showing up on trendy shows, back off on policing the world, and learn to live in a fricking budget!
We have a third of America on Food stamps and we are inviting others to pile on into the party.
That's not going to work. Is it going to take a major economic colapse to wake America up?
Damn, Lucas is going to see this and rip off the new battlestar galactica series and spin the fighter to the proper angle since it's space combat and they didn't need to actually use gravity.
I for one will not buy the newest episode fixing that - and Han solo shot first.
The writers of the constitution had just come out of an oppressive government and won their rights by fighting back against the oppressive government and decided to make sure that if there was a time wen the tree of liberty had to be watered - the citizens would be armed and step up and form militias to fight back.
The whole point of America is and was Freedom. It's a responsibility that all americans must stand up for. Be it an outside force, an oppressive government, or your home being invaded, it's up to you to stand up and fight.
We've collectively been slapped down by many oppressive laws - the right to keep up in technology (I don't mean computers here), the right to be not spied on or searched illegally, and the right to be free.
Here's a basic litmus test. Will you agree to be searched before boarding a flight, or will you tell the person that you're an American, and you refuse to have your basic civil rights violated? It's ok to answer honestly, I just would like to know since I'd like a tax on folks like you, to fund people like me since we need more ammunition since you aren't stepping up to be ready to fight for your freedom.
Think about how much you spend per year. Think about the percent you pay in credit card fees. Take that amount and multiply it over 50 years and just think what you could do with that amount if it had gained interest before you retired.
And all it would take is a bit of time on your part to use cash and monitor your bank account.
Mozilla turf crashed with their idiotic ideas after they decided to go with quick builds and a deaf ear.
I'm still running on 5.0 and wish that I could go back to the days of an easy browser that could block all of the cross connecting crap and ads and just give me a basic browser with one that does not continually run into websites that tells me to upgrade.
I find it surprising that people think credit cards don't hurt you.
I'll dumb it down for everyone.
When you go to the grocery store and shop, and then ring out - the credit card company makes money off of your purchase.
If you use cash, they make you pay the same price since the credit card companies hate the minimum purchase amount signs to use credit cards.
The credit card companies owners are the top 1% - they make craploads of money since most people don't understand that if they used cash instead of credit cards - they could save money since everywhere they shopped wouldn't have to pay for credit card fees.
lastly, that bit they give you for "cash back" is just an incentive to keep paying the higher premiums so the one percenters can keep having fat pay checks.
THEY WANT A CREDIT CARD LIFESTYLE - that will keep prices higher than they should be, and keep using you as the bottom feeder to promote it.

Do you own a cell phone? A pc? A television? A vehicle?
You could of kept one starving family in costa rica happy had you just sent your cash to them instead of buying all that stuff.
How many times has this administration embraced a petition and moved forward with it?

How am I keeping it a secret?
Yes i do.
Was there a point to your post?

It's quite sad.
Send me your phone number so I can tell you where to send the 500.
8.1 is the stupidest release windows has done - ever - It's worse than vista - and that's saying something.
Why hasn't the dump been posted? years ago, there would of been 5 links to the data to sift thru in every article posted for consumption here.
I checked the site out - I was really excited to watch the movie until I realized they weren't going to pay me to watch that crap.
My landline doesn't have text - how are you going to get my information or money for your service?
From what I see in the responses - If I don't have text, than the place you work for is useless to me.

Don't hate the messenger... :)
Are you upset that the government does gitmo, kills off coal jobs, and supports obamacare?
If any of the three you support, who are you happy with and who do you reference when you complain?
Sony makes the decisions. Sony is suffering. Despite what branch does what - Sony deserves to suffer for their anti-consumer arrogance.
You are on a public road, and the police show up. You have no right to privacy. It doesn't matter what your preferences are.
Is anyone really upset that they got hacked? Has everyone forgot they sent out compact discs loaded with a backdoor to fight argggh pirates?

Can you really be that stupid?
3d printing with titanium? installing backbones? You shame all of us with this story.
Just wait till everyone gets flying cars!
I haven't set foot in a movie theater in 15 years. They want to do it their way, then they obviously don't want my money.
The local theater closed here about a year ago. Guess there wasn't enough folks like you to keep it afloat.
