You are correct that you and your children are suffering the same injustices as African Americans during segregation. It is truly unjust that your children cannot abstain from eating peanut butter for one meal each day (or sit at a separate table for their 30 minute lunch break) to ensure other children don’t die.

Of course they are going to string him along, so they don’t set a precedent and get every car back in this condition. VW likely doesn’t care about this particular case but they almost certainly care about this being widespread.

I’m just confused why you feel this is a solely a republican issue. The interim plan for the city’s drinking water was conceived by an emergency manager who was a democrat. It was signed off by a democrat mayor, a democrat city council, the head of of EPA who is a democrat (and was appointed by the current democratic…

I don’t want to argue semantics but your account is exaggerated. By her own account, they did 127 takes on ONE scene (not 200 on all of them) and she was on the job for 9 months. I am sure it wasn’t a fun place to work but it doesn’t need to be sensationalized.

PTSD can play a role in mental illness but I think the key word is SEVERE emotional trauma. I have no doubt that the set of that movie was not a fun place but I wouldn’t classify doing a few extra takes as severe emotional distress.

Millennials are widely predicted to be the first generation in the US that is less wealthy than the previous. This topic seems fairly relevant for a financial publication.

I think that he meant if the company entered bankruptcy, they would receive protection from their creditors and therefore there would be no payouts or greatly diminished payouts, which would defeat the purpose.

I feel your pain and I certainly don’t blame you for trying to maximize your deal but I think that you are being a little disingenuous. You are going to be trading in your car NOW for what it was supposed to be worth over a year ago. Even without the scandal, your car wouldn’t have been worth $27k today.

So, did you trade the car in right after the scandal broke or do you still have it?

To be fair, we have only heard one uncorroborated side of the story through a series of twitter posts. It is entirely possible that there are facts that were omitted or parts of the story were just outright manufactured. United hasn’t even made a statement as to why she was kicked off. I have my doubts that this…
