Pretty much, yes. The idea being that over a long period of time, the insurance premiums would cost more than the amount of money they would have to pay out in claims.

What they actually have is soverign immunity which is typically waived up to whatever the max on their insurance is (~200K). Often times they are self insured.

The alarm clock he dismantled and reassembled in a briefcase is irrelevant to possible admission to MIT. It could go either way depending on other factors.

Government agencies enjoy soverign immunity which is only waived up to something like $200K depending on the location.

Hopefully we took the ~$150M paid to the former hostages out of Iran’s accounts first.

It is possible that the older guy was simply a nutcase and this went from 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds. However, I doubt it. One story lists the kid as 14, and goes on to state:

You assume that was the first and not the tenth time he asked.

It is possible, even even frequent depending on the department, to go a whole shift without getting any breaks and only taking 2 or 3 minutes at a time to urinate on the way to a slightly less urgent call. If that happens then the same consequences apply. It doesn’t even have to be a whole shift. It could be quiet…

JFC, I would NOT want to work where you work. I have never worked someplace like that. I hope you find a better situation.

if appointments ran long or patients showed up late or walk-ins were put on their schedule, they pretty much had to skip their breaks.

And how do you account for that? They can’t guarantee that when she is on the street she will have time. If this is really that urgent of a problem, which I believe it is, then the best solution for everyone is to put her on desk duty where she can take a break at her leisure without compromising coverage or causing…

This isn’t really isn’t about the normal case, since they aren’t threatening to fire her. This is about whether she can stay on the street or has to take a desk job.

Please, that doesn’t take anywhere near 20-30 minutes.

He really came to a custody hearing wearing a 420 shirt? No wonder the kids were removed. Not so much having this around the kids, but his severe lack of judgment.

First source that pops up isn’t definitive, but this is usually the whole point of the counter suit. If it drags out costs on both sides will continue to increase and things will only get worse for the families.

This isn’t about the theater leaving them alone, it is about them leaving the theater alone for something that wasn’t the fault of the theater. All the families have to do is agree not to appeal the decision against them in their lawsuit against the theater and this counter claim will be dropped.

Haha. Yes, of course, those different cops had it out for you. Did it ever occur to you that maybe you’re the problem? You sound like an angry person and that probably comes out in your interactions with people, especially those in authority whom you resent because you never really achieved anything yourself. You…

Comedy gold. “That’s your dinner party gun?” “No, that’s my wife’s dinner party gun.”

Kansas City, MO issues arrest warrants for parking tickets and I pissed off a cop once.

He’s one of the highest grossing actors because he never turns down work, even when the project is bad. Just go over to IMDB and look at his filmography. He’s had multiple projects every year going back 30 years.
