18 inch piece of 1/2 inch rebar. Tightly wrap the first 6 inches with duct tape until a nice handle is formed. Leave by the front door. Grab it when walking outside and apply firmly and repeatedly to the head(s) of attacking dog(s). Easier to use one-handed than a Louisville Slugger. Cheap and effective and should allow stitches and rabies shots to be avoided.
I was hit with a racism lawsuit in a very liberal state (probably the most liberal when it comes to employer employee relationship). It was dismissed with a total cost of a few hundred dollars and one hour of one of my hr people. But it’s good that an employee has the ability to file such a complaint as many companies do tacitly discriminate on race or gender.
Some would say just pull the shotgun or a 9 and blast 'em, but a sturdy dog wacker is safer around kids, doesn't ricochet and is less likely to invite lawsuits or police scrutiny. And since I had mine the bad dogs might typically run up snarling, but when they see what I have in my hand they back off and just bark. Haven't been attacked by a badass pit tho, so mileage may vary.
Yeah, I was involved in a bogus racism grievance from a GS employee back in my government days, an hour of my time and they were fired. For every horror story there are a thousand times the system works just like it should. All what you choose to focus on I guess, being a poor victim terrified of suits or a successful entrepreneur.
How do you know they discriminate on race, when they might just discriminate on cultural traits that may adversely affect work performance? Do you believe on average African Americans apply the same work ethics than Asians or Caucasians? On average I stress...
Ironic we were just talking about his many aliases and he goes and starts with the bigotry that gets him put in the time out corner every time. Not a lot of self awareness there, but then bigots are rather sad people themselves.
Cry us a river. Let's create a safe space where any opinion that diverges from yours won't be tolerated. So anyone is a bigot who claims that women cause more workplace disruption because of maternity leave? Keep in mind there are countries like Japan where people can hardly ever be fired and women get 1 year maternity leave or longer. Guess what happens when a female employee goes on maternity leave. Of course does the company not hire anyone additionally to replace the missing labor. That work has to be done by the rest of the team. Do guys get a year off for a nice sabbatical every now and then where the female employees cover for the missing employee for a year? Are you saying African American operated Starbucks are as efficiently run as under Asian management? Or that African Americans are as flexible when overtime is required as Asians are? Most often businesses that are predominantly operated by Caucasian management are the least racially biased. Ever seen a food franchise that is operated by lndians? Have you ever seen in such franchise a single non Indian employee? Now I am a racist and misogynist because I point out gender and race differences? You don't seem to complain when I say that African Americans make better BBQ chicken or are better athletes and faster runners. Seems you are mostly biased against Caucasians when it comes to race. By the way you don't seem to understand the term bigot. It is someone intolerant to other opinions. The only bigot in the room is you here. I never denied your differing opinions something you do all the time.
Dan Dan, I’ve been a licensed attorney for nearly 25 years and have settled numerous personal injury wrongful death lawsuits in excess of a million dollars. First and foremost, do not get information about this matter from this forum as it will more likely than not be wrong. I warn you specifically about gruelstrum, who I have told before that he is no lawyer, as he posts inaccurate information that is misleading and based on opinion and the common sense of a lay person with no legal training. He may be a good trader, I have no idea, but I do know that lawyers don’t commonly give traders advice on trading. He should stick with what he knows and has been trained in. Next, before you do anything, speak to a personal injury attorney in your state (or the state involved) and a tax lawyer or perhaps a CPA in the same. In all probability, the personal injury lawyer will tell you the answer to your questions but, will advise you to speak to a CPA or tax lawyer as he is not an expert in the field either. (I do this sort of legal work and have never taken a tax class). You should take his advice as you will be stuck with the tax liability after he or she takes the 40% or 33% fee and is off on the next case. Speak to the tax specialists BEFORE settling the case. If you decide to take the money in an annuity, or perhaps in another financial instrument, to preserve future earnings’ tax free status, you need to decide to do this before taking the money and there needs to be language in the settlement agreement outlining what is going on. Generally, the proceeds from personal injury damages settlements are tax free because the internal revenue code says so. This includes money paid for past and future lost wages. However, note that claims for gross negligence/punitive damages are not. The lawyer or should know how to handle this in the settlement agreement to at least mitigate the problem. Further, confidentiality provisions, becoming much more common, can render a tax free settlement partially taxable. (Thank Dennis Roddman for this-do a google search if you are interested). The personal injury lawyer, again, should know how to handle this but many don’t. if they look at you like you are crazy if you mention this, they don’t know their business and you should forcefully make them find out. (Many lawyers have never settled big enough cases where this has been an issue.). The personal injury lawyer will likely not know for sure the tax ramifications of moving the money through an estate. A CPA/tax lawyer should. Everything I have written in based on federal and state law in MY state which is not California or Oregon. So check with a lawyer in your state and the states involved. Good luck.
