Research would also explain that alleging at least $75k in damages gets you into federal court. That’s probably what this is about.

She also asked for an apology and that they change the temp. They refused both, she asked for medical bills, they refused. She sued and a jury said fuck McD’s. She took a lesser amount in a settlement rather than go through appeals. At no point did she do anything greedy.

She would appreciate it, if she hadn’t died shortly after, having never walked again from the damage that McD’s expert, on the stand, admitted was so hot it would have cauterized your throat if you drank it.

It was rolled back from the 2.8mm number. That was as high as it ever got, she took a confidential settlement to avoid appeals, I believe died before or right around when they got the money and I also believe she never walked again after the burns. Check out Hot Coffee. It used to be on Netflix and is a super…

It’s the threshold for federal jurisdiction, i.e. suing the cop without getting your local judge.

If it’s beside the point, why did you bring it up?

$75,000 is the threshold to get into federal court. They likely are alleging at least $75,000 in order to make sure they get into federal court, and will also ask for punitive damages, etc. Beyond not knowing the facts of the coffee case, you also don’t understand how any of this works. I see you’re already mad at all…

I am sad that I don’t get this joke.

I didn’t realize they had made that. Really looking forward to checking it out.

I’m largely on the same page as you. I had just finished responding to the guy that said all of Auburn’s assistant coaches make millions and was sort of continuing that response more than anything. The players should be paid, the rest of this is just bullshit of varying degrees. That said, letting the coaches bring…

Where’s the giving free stuff to poor people part? He’s trying to make education free — why shouldn’t it be? He wants to tax people at the very highest levels of income at an amount similar to what they paid during the 70s and 80s instead of the 90s and 00s. That’s not communism, it’s an attempt to reverse a widening…

Just pointing out that your attempt at some sort of moral high ground was a little hypocritical here. Prior to that I was giving you shit without expanding replies. I’m not sure why someone that posted some dumb, rude shit thinks I owe it to him to search out other people’s responses before I call you out on it. You…

You were, of course, super mature in insinuating his mom was just a cum dumpster. I’m sorry I offended your sensibilities while you were being super insulting toward the now deceased mother of a stranger that just got the best news of his life. I should aspire to be more like you, right?

As I mentioned to someone else, there are a number of graduate assistants and other coaches that don’t make what the head coach makes. It’s only a few coordinators that make big money, there are many other coaches and administrative personnel, etc. that don’t make that much. They brought 370 people — about half of…

I was talking about graduate assistants and people like that that can’t take their families. The school having a private jet for recruiting costs a lot more than doing right by the families, if you want to harp on overspending related to travel.

Imagine a black guy didn’t want to live in STL these days. Must be about money and/or he’s ungrateful. Can’t imagine the widespread racism of the entire area factors in.

Kasich is about the only GOPer not living in a financial fantasy land. I don’t have a ton of love for him, but he’s the only adult running on that side of the election.

You’re reading what the GOP says Sanders will do instead of looking at his actual plans.

Tiger said Barkley’s swing looks like a speech impediment (it was a long time ago, probably would get in trouble for that now), that description always seemed so perfect.

Not much of a reader, are ya?
