You're maligning him based on how you imagines he interacts with his professors? He may be a douchebag but imaginary scenarios playing out in your mind is not the way to prove that.

Bob Dole seems like an okay dude. He apparently met Daniel Inouye in the hospital when both were recovering from WW2 wounds and, the two despite their political differences (Inouye was a Democrat) remained lifelong friends.

This may be true, but the Lindy West style all caps get old.

They tried something similar in China, the Cultural Revolution, in which urban elites were forced to work peasant jobs (among other things). It is generally regarded as horrible for the country's development.

You would prefer they said CP24, which even other Canadians don't know?

He's awful even for Jalopnik.

It's in celsius.

Or he could say that was a long time ago, he disputed the allegations then, he doesn't want to rehash it, but he's moved on as a person and he hopes she's doing well.

Yeah, the profit motive can really screw up medicine. My experience in Canada, where almost all services are provided for free (to the consumer) and pay legislated rates to the doctor, is that doctors will pick whatever treatment option they think is best.

People bat an eye, also when geezer dies there's still a 20-something to raise the kids.

That sucks.

Also, does she have a backup plan if she has a heart attack / other health event?

There's also the less-minute-as-you-get-older chance that she'll develop a terminal illness in her 50s and 60s and leave two younger children orphaned. The frontman of a favorite band of mine just developed early onset Alzheimers (at age 51).

Well, I guess if someone sues we'll see what a court says.

(From this source cited above) Federal law allows sex discrimination if the business can show that it is basing the discrimination on a bona fide job qualification. For strip clubs that are selling sex to heterosexual male customers, the gender of the dancer is relevant, so they can hire all women. You can also only…

Survived by settling before it gets to court. This (admittedly random) law professor thinks they would fail if they ever let a case go to trial.

I don't think that's true. A company can't hire women to fill only receptionist roles, for example, and say they're onside the law.

There's a specific carve out for education in providing services. There's also an exemption if you can show a bona fide public policy reason for why your service should discriminate. (It's all in the top document if you want to take a look).

Yeah I think a US court would probably agree with you about the hotel, but I think some of how courts rule can come down to the individual judge and how doctrinaire his approach is and the particular case law in your country (at least in the US and Britain, common law countries).

I wouldn't have found it objectionable personally (though I think it's unlikely to actually solve any problem, since most hotels don't have guards on each floor checking if you're allowed to be there). My point was that courts tend to look askance at even "no-big-deal" discrimination because the laws against…
