Why did packard have to see a vet when he got sick? Is he banned from the local hospitals?

No real doctor would approve of the sex change when it was so clear she only wanted it to prove a bad point on the internet, so she got the snip instead.

Not to suggest vets aren't real doctors.

Rather to suggest she went with the kind of vet seen in Better Call Saul.

That would be Amazon. Oh wait, they gave a butt ton of money to an orange shitlord to get regulations removed and watchdog groups fired so they wouldn't have to worry about those pesky worker protections anymore and their big boss could go blow $40 million on a weekend getaway in Italy.

Lots of potential for all that land.  Amazon.com wants to build a warehouse there.

I bet the state or the county won't approve the land use, because some joker is likely to pull his "environmental impact study" out of his ass and weaponize every rat, beetle and goose that happens to be there against any progress.

So without clicking the link, it clearly says this dumb shit you're talking about is indeed in AC.

Now if you think we are going to further argue the location, go ahead and get the lotion, because you're gonna be going solo.

Bet or nah?

I would also like to point out that this is not what environmental impact studies do.  An EIS is actually used primarily to determine what existing conditions need to be mitigated through development.  It isn't an independently authored document that can be used to block development; it exists solely to determine what requirements will be made of a developer once a project is approved by zoning authorities.

Okay, suppose it's true that Amazon bribed Don to scrub OSHA requirements.

Then, what?  How about if every employee who gets injured decides to litigate?  Wouldn't that cost more than OSHA compliance?

No, I sued my employer and won a pile of cash, based on a work injury.  An early retirement would not have been in the cards for me, had I not done so.

Good thing it worked out that way, because I really didn't want to wait until age sixty seven for my full pension.

[discolé monade]

a pile of cash...

and yet, bye bye went the silver..

adios to the local taylor shop. 

now it's knock off watches, and the fantastic and fast paced life, that is being a pedistrian, while stalking employees at the local chain pharmacy, trying to escape social fucktards like you

Ahh... The watches are an indulgence, the silver was sold because I didn't want to dig into the bank account to pay the cat's vet bill, nobody is getting "stalked" and chain pharmacies have nothing to do with any of this.

It would cost the employees more than Amazon since Amazon makes billions in profit whereas...

People who barely make enough to pay their basic bills have money to litigate? Especially after being seriously injured and having to deal with that crap? Reminder that company insurance is allowed to be discriminatory and shitty because that's what the teabagger party fought for on behalf of insurance companies. And Amazon doesn't allow any talks of unionizing and has the money to actively block any such attempts that might allow their workers to be able to have collective bargaining powers. I wouldn't be surprised if they have everyone sign an arbitration agreement form when hired.

Somebody is not talking to the right lawyers.  Mine didn't get paid until I got paid.  It's called a contingency agreement and it works whether there's union or not.

And someone seems to think that people who work 14 hours a day in a warehouse without adequate bathroom breaks because corporations have been made immune to being held accountable for anything have the energy to do any of that when also dealing with work injuries.

What energy?  A twenty minute consultation, two doctor visits, some paperwork, and some ten minute phone calls.  Even somebody with two full time jobs can handle that.

You've never had an actual injury in your life and it shows. You are probably one of those grievance weasels who called in sick because you had a stinging hangnail for a second. 

Frickin' a, dumbass thinks that an injury disappears immediately after filling out paperwork and doesn't affect anything in that person's life.

Litigation requires time and energy, things which an injury sucks away. 

Let's use an example and everyone can watch you either run away or dance around it like an imbecilic monkey. 

Someone gets injured on the job in such a way that both main nerves in one arm are all but severed. Due to the greed that is inherent in the system, they are still considered eligible to work with some slight restrictions that are all but guaranteed to be ignored by the higher ups in favor of getting things done on their hide-in-an-office schedule. They are still scheduled for 10 hour shifts which if you take into account getting up, getting ready and travel to and from, are much closer to 12 hour shifts. Those shifts are a collection of all the things that they shouldn't be doing all the time but still have to do. By the time they get home, it's past 6p and they are too injured from the day to do more than ice pack/heat pack/maybe change out the compression sleeve for a new one and soak the old one for another day. A day off signifies recovery and likely as little movement as possible to try to get things back into some sort of shape for the next work day. Calling out too much could result in a write-up or even a dismissal depending on the work environment. Inability to complete daily assignments same thing. Loss of job means loss of income and benefits including insurance and trying to prove they were fired to keep from going after the company for the injury would fall on the person barely paying their bills before getting canned. So they have to keep working those 10-12 hour shifts.

So, when exactly are they supposed to pull the time and energy out of their butt to find a lawyer and litigate while actively injured?

Itntermittent FMLA can render an employee impervious to any of the company's attendance policies.

That's how I found the time to visit doctors, get the MRI's and collect other evidence to support my case.

Personally, I won my case without even having to show up in a courtroom.  I dropped off the paperwork, the lawyer took it all to court and did all the work himself.

I've had a pretty reasonably extensive work history.

I've only had 1 job that gave FMLA, since most refused to give full time so they could skimp out on benefits, and the only position I've had with FMLA.... well, I needed it 2 years in a row. Guess how many times they paid out?

They rejected me both times, neither particularly my fault.

And yes, it was a serious issue with multiple years of documentation.

Hya, Bunky... this is the Old Philospher.  Did you say you were seriously injured on the job and ended up with pompous, arrogant bosses who had unreasonably denied your intermittent FMLA claim?  Is that what's troubling you, Sunny Boy?

Well, just lift your head up high and lift a phone to your ear!  The EEOC is the agency to be calling.  Yes, sir... denying FMLA to an injured person is illegal discrimination and your bosses could face heavy fines or have the business shut down.

I have a permanent disability. Wasn't a work injury, but it was a desk job and sitting long term severely impacted it, and it was bad enough that I needed to take 2 full FMLAs about 1 year apart.

Wasn't bosses. It was the disability insurance company contracted by a $260 billion bank. The company had been hit with a class action lawsuit for their poor practices a year or so prior. They were intentionally vague on details of what documentation was needed, and I kept getting hit with bad timing/luck on basically every step.

They have so much money compared to their pitiful excuse of a wrist slap. The type of companies that only change for the better due to punishment are never goodcompanies.
