I agree. It's a shame people are cheap and stupid and will put their fellow Americans out of business to save a buck

Is it morally wrong to go after the money from that woman's lawsuit? Yes.
Is it wrong in light of capitalism to go after that woman's money? HELL no.


Business is business, regardless of people.
The business is wrong for acting on such principles, or lack there of. And the people are fools for continuing to purchase from a business thats treats people in this manner. We can give it a title, it doesnt change the fact it is wrong

So do you make your own shoes? Do you grow or raise your own food? Where does your gasoline come from? Where was your computer made?

You've had too much to drink. Your spelling is suddenly horrible.

Nice comeback, by the way. You obviously wear Nike shoes, burn OPEC gas, and type on a made in China keyboard.

I do my best to purchase from American companies. I only considered ATV's made in the U.S. when I bought mine last year. The furniture from my house that set me back a considerable amount I made sure was all made here. I also check when doing my day to day shopping, trying to purchase from as many American companies as possible. Your right that many items in my Home come from China, the sad thing is I now have no choice when it comes to some things. You sit back and laugh, I don't see anything funny about it. I see it doesnt bother you to keep sending work to other countrys, maybe one day it will effect you and you might actually care. What I dont get is why you don't care that fellow Americans are loosing jobs and the American dollar is dropping in value on the open market.

And how many of those 320k new American jobs are being done by illegal immigrants?

If we lived in a closed market then we could control what we have to use in our daily lives as to where things are made. Considering we live in a capitalistic society, that will never happen. I commend you for trying to keep as many made in USA things as possible in your attempt to help, but it is a futile effort. Just because a job goes overseas doesn't mean I am going to make my family suffer because I am buying american.

Like I said, good job for trying to buy american.

I drive a Ford ruck, my wife drives a Chevy car. I live in a house that was made in USA. Those are major purchases. That's good enough for me.

She was awarded $1 mil, ended up with under 500k. So the scum lawyers took over half of her cash!
I knew somebody who was hurt in a grocery store parking lot---the store was at fault. The lawyer said, "40% if it doesn't go to trial; 50% if it goes to trial."

He got half of the settlement.

You sure your Ford truck was built in the USA? Mine wasn't, the door sticker says it was built in Canada. Better than being built in the 3rd world I guess, the Canuckians have a lot of the same issues we do and they don't work for peanuts up there either. I'd also be interested to see how much of the raw materials and components your house was built with are domestic.

Funny thing - the Toyota Tundras you all seem to hate are built in the USA.
