And if you read the actual constitution, you will learn that states don't have rights.

When you have a car wreck, your insurance claim covers both the cost of repairs and the diminution in resale value. Same concept here. GM's negligence and/or malfeasance are alleged to be the direct and proximate cause of the loss of resale value, hence their liability.

It will cover repairing the defects but not the loss in resale value. When you have a car wreck, for example, your insurance claim covers both the actual repair costs and the loss of resale value because it's now a car that has been in an accident. Same concept here.

The first option costs a lot less in the long run. The second option only works if you never get caught.

The lawsuit has nothing to do with falling out of style; it's based on hidden defects. Totally different animal.

The answer to all your questions is "no," as is the answer to the question "are your questions relevant to the lawsuit against GM?" There is no slippery slope, but slippery slope arguments are losers anyway. And lawsuits such as this one are one of the few ways people have of pressuring a large corporation to make…

I'm curious as to what companies checkup on their employees. Who has time for that? Is this unique to certain industries or locations?

I'm still scarred from driving through roundabouts in Ireland. They drive on the wrong side of the road!

That answered my question—thank you!

Anyone have concerns about taking career advice from a 28-year old?

That can work out really well. For instance, I am flying to Detroit tomorrow!
