“He may have problems proving this yes, but perhaps the bank will settle out of court and then put the settlement in an account for him. Then they will promptly begin robbing him of the money through fees and other methods of chicanery.”
“You are exactly correct the Attorney filing the case knows that he can't prove false imprisonment, but he hopes with the bad press and the poor public opinions of the banking industry, that they will get a nice settlement of which the Attorney will get 40% plus all of the expenses that he incurs. I don;t know exactly how the bank employees should have handled the evacuation, but they were probably told to evacuate immediately and orderly and there was probably only one employee that had an idea that someone was in the Safety Deposit Box room. But as you said this case will never go to court, it will either be settled or thrown out. Bank of America is owned by stockholders, many of which are union workers that have BOA in their pension plan investment, school teachers retirement funds are stock holders in BOA, as are many people that have 401K. So the settlement will only take dividends from those pension funds. Regualar people are the ones that wind up paying for all of these law suits. I do know if I were the person locked in the bank and came out and everyone was gone, I would have hidden because that would be a scary feeling, so he will likely get a settlement for emotional distress.”
“I hope he wins. Banks rob you daily and cut your interest on your accounts while raising the rates you get charged for credit. Yes, they employ lots of people but they are cutting jobs right an left to increase their bottom line.”
“Don't deny the fact that we DO need massive spending cuts, but across the BOARD. For every dollar we cut in social services we cut a dollar in military spending and programs that the Republicans don't want touched. Better yet, pass spending that educates without cost ANYONE that wants a college degree.”
“yes, SERIOUSLY..........i have found that the work ethic is gone by then........there have been some exceptions though.........if the unemployed person had the forethought to volunteer in a organization that i believed in then all other things being equal i would give him a chance if the volunteer time was serious
as to your tax comment........so you want me to have to layoff EMPs.........well good for you
“No, if the Reps keep serving up the same old style of jackassery, and continue their policy of stalling anything the President tries to accomplish, hopefully voters will be smart enough to keep them out of the White house and Washington DC.”
“Donald, it is this president and his Senate who are stalling things - threatening to veto anything the House passes - even with House Democrat support.
“that is the whole point i will only be replacing EMPs as needed......and i don't hire anyone unemployed that has been unemployed for more than 6 month”
“The democrats had control of both houses of congress since the 2006 election - 2 years before the economic crisis and for 2 years after. Please tell me again how the republicans are obstructionist?”
“Alcohol in and of itself isn't really harmful to the body. Over consumption of alcohol is pretty bad for you though, like everything else in nature.”
“Many great "thinkers" have used mind altering substances, as have tribal shamans for thousands of years. How many beneficial drugs have been derived from plants that are considered "illegal" for consumption in this country? So much for the superiority of your "sober mind". Educate yourself....”
“Don't expect to ever read about marijuana overdose deaths. Consider this though, how many people are shot in alcohol related incidents versus drug related ones? Sure, drunk driving kills many people as alcohol is related in gun induced homicides, but marijuana use is far from "innocent" when it comes to people dying. How many people are killed in Mexico and other parts of the world regarding pot? Whether it's deals gone wrong or cartels trying to eliminate their competition and take control of the distribution and sale?”
“Indeed, there is a systemic and endemic problem in education across the entire country. The problems stem from many different areas and a single cause for blame is not available. It IS one of the most vital issues we face in my opinion.”
