8 years of wrong

Pennsylvania court rules in favor of plaintiffs in Wal-Mart suit. Hmmmm ... $78 million, which will be appealled taking another 8 years, 'til finially it drops to $54 million and $40 some million dollars in court fees and lawyer costs+ yielding around $10 million for those affected, after taxes and other fees, bringing a healthy $20 check to each party on the class action suit against Wal-Mart.

So, Wal-Mart loses money, maintains prices, foregoing the happy smiling bouncing face lowering prices and reshapes its policies and procedures.

Two people I know that work or have worked recently for Wal-Mart remarked how "anally retentive" it was about clocking in, out, breaks and the seeming minutia. I suppose it/is due to the lawsuit mentioned above. Hmmm, food for thought, I suppose.

MSNBC chose a picture of lotto winners outside the courtroom delighted that they won. I guess no one told them that it would take years to get the money, which would be widdled down to less than a day's paycheck per litigant. Well, it's gas money for 2015.

+ intentional reversal
