Only patients with large wage loss or medical bills are typically able to find attorneys in California. Most medical malpractice victims- of which I was one - can’t, or when we do, they will never sue hospitals or insurance companies or doctors who are part of a university practice.

Was the restaurant legally a restaurant? I ask b/c there’s a sleazy operator in my neighborhood who rents or buys properties, puts in whatever business she wants, including a dog spa, a real estate office, a tote bag company, an art gallery, and a clothing store, without doing any of the required permitting, health,…
The problem is that it favors the rich and penalizes the poor. If you’re working for minimum wage, then they calculate your economic loses based on your small salary, if you’re a CEO then you can get millions in economic recompense. Medical costs do not figure into economic loss, so you can win but still have huge…
People injured by doctors can’t get “non-economic” damages, only the amount they lost directly related to a screw up. Even that is capped at $250,000 even if a doctor takes out the wrong kidney!
No, you won’t. Everyone imagines old age as easy, financially secure, and your body in fine shape. That doesn’t happen.
No it’s not. UPS does not have a warehouse of Casper mattresses or anything else. Carriers do not pull, package, and sort articles, they deliver packages.
Already packaged items are picked up or dropped off at delivery centers. All sorts of packages come from a supplier or person into a UPS distribution center, then…
Yes, but after you’ve tested them so are less likely to return them. Casper refuses to reveal their return rate, but Consumer Reprots found a 7% return rate for boxed mattress companies versus a 2.2% for traditional buying from a store.
Another reason to not buy a mattress on line is that if you don’t like it, they just throw it in the garbage and send you a new one. Also, the foam most of them are made from is likely to be slightly toxic even when they say it’s not.
I doubt Mr. Bling does anything. I bet he has poorly paid assistants or as we in the US call them, “unpaid interns.”
As long as we have a for-profit health care system everything around health care will be for-profit. The attorneys, the insurance companies, the NFL, the drug and medical device companies, the hospitals.... In the UK when someone is injured they are cared for (at a cost of $5000/year/person in taxes) and private…
These people (add Hugh Hewitt, Ross Douhat, Bret Stephens, and Marc Theissen to the list) keep getting credibility by being on TV, interviewed by or set up as commentators news outlets, and making appearances on various conferences. Bill Maher, the NYT & Washington Post, even MSNBC have put these idiots out in public…
How skinny is the girl? I meant those legs look as if they cannot hold her up, so she’s leaning against the wall for support.
Work is capital investment, but our economy and our public discourse treats work as an expense rather than a participatory act that should be rewarded just as cash investment is. We no longer think of work as separate from our lives, as if everyone is working at their dream job instead of for money, and that is…
No one wrote about “correctly” (sic) portraying violence.
Confrontational means designed to provoke an emotional response. That’s manipulation, not that far from what advertizers do. This is an artistic version of selling an idea. The premise that one can be non-exploitative in showing intimate acts is a kind of “new” idea, one bred in response to the denial of how awful…
Thanks for the...um ..insult?
It is the nature of artistic portrayal to be at a distance from reality; it is a thing unto itself. Any portrayal is a distinct act of violence. No matter how you justify it, explicit violence as entertainment is not a statement on the violence, it is intrinsically an exploitation of cruelty to garner attention not to…
That photo is of The Mills family, John, Mary, Juliet, Jonathan, and Haley and Juliet’s son Sean. I remember when Juliet married a man 18 years younger than she, the media went crazy imagining what was wrong with him, including speculating that he was gay and she his beard.
It’s a combination of ultra-right wing, rich, white guys and their organizations. The Heritage Foundation (see teamrobot2001, below), The Federalist Society, the GOP, a front group called the Media Research Center, the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Koch Brothers groups, the Sacklers, the Walton Family (Walmart), and a…
Tarantino has no thoughts, just impulses.
