    Yet another reason to avoid large companies with 'professional HR'.

    Who would give those morons any authority?

    Refusing it sign an agreement is not fraud. It's not my job to teach an HR drone how to read.

    Without any signed agreement, all they did was pay me a severance. They have no basis to sue. Sure they still can, but that would require them admitting publicly just how fucking stupid their HR is and is unlikely to get them anything.

    You sign 'I don't agree', they look at it, don't read it and cut you a check.

    Remember what I said upthread about HR drones?

    They cut me a check as part of employment (end of it), and you think they can get it back because I didn't actually sign something?

    I did the same. Then I met a dude with 50,000 CDs ripped to a drive.

    Quick 'synch' and we both have about 50,100 CDs.

    Seriously, nobody ever actually checks that you signed your name. Just write 'I don't agree' somewhat legibly.

    HR drones are fucking morons, use it.

    Consider signing actual name on IRS and 401K documents, but even there no big deal, nobody checks.

    This was a novel device. Not just another blood sugar meter.

    A wildly inaccurate blood test is dangerous. They would have had to assert fictitious error levels and should have had to reference basic research.

    How can someone assert a test is accurate without controlled testing? Even if the FDA didn't do the tests directly, they should have seen the research.

  12. You don't know which 30,000 emails he has. He could have all the 'personal' ones hillary's staff deleted. That would be very bad for her.

  13. It's the 30,000 'personal' emails that were deleted by her staff that are her biggest problems.

    Many have been located in other people's inbox, they were not personal and did contain classified information. These emails are Hillary's biggest problem.

    It will take much more than a coherent sentence to get anybody to take a Sanders supporter seriously.

    The basic problem is they want to 'feel' their way through life, 'thinking' is for Republicans.

    You keep repeating the 'Nixon defense'. It doesn't matter.

    Classification authority doesn't give her the right to declassify and requires her to treat unmarked documents containing classified information appropriately.

    It makes it worse for Clinton, not better.

    Sanders is being left alone by the Republicans.

    If he was in the general, all the photos of him hanging with and supporting reds would be published. His claim of only being a 'social democrat' would be over.

    Of course his diehard supporters won't care. But they are just the usual 'free shit' people, less than 10%.

  22. That makes the law harder on her, not easier.

    Having original classification authority doesn't mean she can unilaterally declassify. It means if she sees something secret (e.g. full resolution spy satellite photos found on her server) she is required to mark it classified and start an investigation as to why it was in the open.
