we went to universal studies 2 months ago due to this. Would have done disney save for this issue.
And I differ with you on this. I think that this lawsuit will lead to a flood of lawsuits against companies AND THE IMMIGRATION dept. That will stop this rather quickly.
Ideally, these lawyers suing disney will consider the idea of suing the board and executives for their moving from wages for the executives to stock options. The stock options encourage behavior like this which results in short-term gains, but fast destruction of the company. It would be a hard battle, but upon winning it, it would pretty much stop other companies from doing this same foolish behavior.
Because executives are no longer paid wages. ALL of their compensation comes in the form of stock options that are then sold at HUGE profits with little to no taxes.
The lawyers that are representing these employees will almost certainly win. I am hopeful that they will continue on and sue the board and executives for paying the executives in this fashion. By paying them with publically traded options, and not money, or ESOP stock, they encourage the executives to destroy the companies for short-term gains, which is NOT in the interest of the stock-holders or employees.
The first suit is an easy win. The above suit will be harder, but possible. At the same time, it would have a much larger impact on businesses around the world.
These disney ppl are almost certain to win this. It will mean massive lawsuits on the old companies. CONgress would have to write it in, that protects not just these companies, but the older companies along with the offshored companies. For any that attempt to vote for that, how long do you think that they would last in their seat?
And that is exactly why these disney ppl need to sue not just disney, but immigration. They have a responsibility to ENFORCE the WORDING AND MEANING of the law. They have not been, and continue to not, do so.
As such, I believe that upon disney ppl winning this lawsuit, that if they go after the feds, it will open a huge pipeline of lawsuits against the old companies, immigration, and maybe even companies like tata. Of course, the Indian companies will simply declare bankruptcy, but it will be no different than companies that put in place asbestos, and other items now considered danagerous.
If they did, they would quit outsourcing. Seriously, when you outsource the code to another nation in which you are paying software engineers 8-10,000 / year, what do you think will happen which China or Russia offers one of them 100,000 to leave a back door in the code? Then once the black hats get on the system, they put in a new back door and remove the one that was put in the system so as to not point back to the original person.
If the CIOs at places like Target and Home Depot REALLY cared about Security, they would quit outsourcing to weak coders that make horrible money and are then easy targets for this.
Both have massive ground based laser system designed to take out sats. In fact , ussr once threatened the shuttle by hitting it with a laser on the window. Purposely. Now, Russia AND china, have small sats about size of basketball that they are moving slowly by American sats. These are only useful as a first strike weapon. Basically, if we launch at attack, upon launching, we do not need the sats. OTOH, if Russia, and/or china, launch, then taking out sats first, give them a critical edge.
Sadly, JD Powers refuses to rate Tesla. Interestingly, Tesla is now at the same sales volume as Porsche was in 2000. And if all goes well Tesla will surpass Porsche by 2018. Of course, the question is, will JD Powers finally rate Tesla then?
And yet, GM, VW, Toyota, Porsche, BMW, etc can afford massive recalls because they sell so many.
A recall is a high price no matter the car. And yes, Tesla is very different.
Congratulations that you figured it out. Of course, you seem to be good at making mistakes. You did not figure out that this page was not refreshed to see your next post acknowledging your previous mistake.
Rei, I have always had loads of respect for you, but I think that you have one thing missing in there. ITER is supposed to be an R&D reactor, BUT with the promised goal that it would go over the break-even point. That break-even point is the difference between a commercially viable unit, vs. a pure R&D reactor. In fact without that happening, this will have been a massive waste of money.

Mcd does not give employees free lunch. They used to. But that was several decades ago.

nope. The XC90 is being moved to China.
Might want to re-evaluate it based on what everybody is seeing and not just on what you see with your 2 cars.
Volvo is WAY down the list. And mazda is just barely above average.
Sadly, JD Powers refuses to rate Tesla. Interestingly, Tesla is now at the same sales volume as Porsche was in 2000. And if all goes well Tesla will surpass Porsche by 2018. Of course, the question is, will JD Powers finally rate Tesla then?
Yes, good posting. You have it exactly right.
Nope. All owners bring in their cars every year.
Actually, all of the other car makers are great examples of what not to be.
And yet, they are night and day above the direct competitors such as S class, a8, etc.
3) wrong. All of the other car makers are much worse than Tesla.
Yeah either fiat via jeep, Ford, BMW, or Mercedes. All 4 have had similar issues.
Nope. Volvo's safety record is gone. In addition, Volvo's for the US, are to come from china.
If it was any other car maker, they would do nothing until forced by govs to do so. And that would occur only after multiple deaths.

I wish i had some mod points now. You are so spot on.

The other nice issue about these small alternative reactor designs is the use in space. That is huge since tritium is relatively easy to get there
Yeah, Russia, china, and America never had fusion bombs like tsar bomba or B61.
It is only french when it is failing. When things are looking good, then it becomes international.

Yes, but it is done as a joke. Some are taking it far more serious than they should.
