  1. It is really odd to conflate civil suits against someone in their official capacity for the purpose of challenging their legal authority (e.g., a lawsuit that the official cannot do a course action) or lawsuits against someone in their personal capacity for damages (e.g., a defamation suit) with criminal prosecution by the government. Like, those things aren't even kind of the same thing. I'm not sure how the first one could ever constitute the "targeting of political enemies." The fact that he is unable to see how criminal prosecution is qualitatively different is stupefying.
  2. I'm arguing that you're talking out of your ass. See @TwiceHorn's posts.
  3. I see. You can conflate of bunch of things that are conceptually different, confuse opinions with facts, have no idea how to link something, and have a very loose understanding of history.
  4. How are private lawsuits and the weaponization of justice department related? You understand those are completely different things, right?
  5. What does the liability of a third party (the manufacturer) have to do with this supposed agent-principal relationship? More importantly, your concern here in this scenario as you've defined it is about the ability of the agent to punish a principal? Normally, the problem is the principal's inability to punish an agent, not vice versa.
  6. You've conflated a liability system designed to address disputes regarding responsibility for injuries with agency. They are not one and the same. The manufacturer isn't an agent and isn't acting under principles of agency.
  7. Yeah, but worse the year before that.
  8. It happens, but it is rare. Generally if the dispute is worth going to court over the person will hire an attorney and you wouldn't end up in small claims court.
  9. I'm an attorney. There is no specific statute. Common law controls here. The question is what damages did the person have as a result of the accident. Again, the general goal of the tort system is make the person whole. Comparable transportation follows from that aim. I don't know what you mean about the last part. People go to court all the time when insurers refuse to pay reasonable compensation. Smalls claims isn't any different than filing any other lawsuit.
  10. Rough couple of minutes...
  11. Have you watched us the last 3 years? The third quarter issue isn't new. And I doubt it is going away next year.
  12. I may not have quoted the most important post that I was responding to. I specifically meant this part: "I can’t recall the exact verbiage Imma buy it is transportation, not comparable transportation." That's incorrect. Now, what an insurer writes in their policies for their insureds is different, but also irrelevant when dealing with a 3rd party driver.

    This failure led to a significant event for the FAA and significant diversions for flights. I don't think SpaceX prior success or methodology change that. I expect you'll see at least a couple month delay for investigations of both the failure and, perhaps more importantly, potential changes to FAA procedures to minimize flight risk and impacts going forward.

    This is going to be a lengthy grounding and investigation.
  15. Can the stripper? Or the monkey?
  16. Sure. Maybe he just started throwing the moon balls for kicks with absolutely no input from our coaches. That tracks.
  17. Banks is widely regarded as one of, if not the best special teams coach in college football. And we pay him a lot for it. While their were some key fuck ups this year, in general special teams have been good under Banks. Changing a rainmaking position to an NFL guy that knows shit about college recruiting would be fucking stupid.
  18. My eyes did. Watch the 2022 tape and then watch what he started doing in 2023 (start with his moonball deep ball against Alabama). This was a clear adjustment to Quinn's game to get something from the deep ball.
  19. We coached in into him. He was firing lasers early in his career on deep balls. But they were usually overthrown and didn't give the receiver a chance. The moonballs came as an adjustment to at least let the receiver adjust to throw.
  20. Hasn't he had multiple concussions, a broken leg, and an assortment of other injuries? Long snapper is the way to go for minimal stress and wear and tear. Long career almost guaranteed and you do practically nothing.
  21. What is your total damage? PM me
  22. Helm was decent at blocking when we weren't asking him to block a DE or DT by himself. That just isn't a matchup most TEs are going to win.
  23. For minor property damage situations like this, generally I'd advise people to run it through their insurance, and let it handle getting everything back from the at fault carrier. Lawyers don't take property only cases usually. And even if they did, the typical contingent fee for a lawyer would leave you worse off than had you just taken whatever was offered (because there usually isn't much room to pump up the number in negotiations on a property damage only case, the disputed amount is usually pretty small). Another option for higher value property cases is hiring a public adjuster (their fees are typically much lower than an attorneys). A TDI complaint isn't going to go anywhere when you're talking about a 3rd party insurer. They technically don't have any obligation to the other driver, only their insured. A lawsuit (smalls claims or otherwise) is really the only other recourse. But, again, really not worth the time you'd spend doing it for a case like this. If your own insurance is an option in these situations, that is your best bet.
  24. I don't believe that is accurate. If the driver was found liable at trial, they'd be on the hook for any damages, including the cost of transportation. That doesn't many "any transportation". It means what would put you in the same position had the accident not occurred at all. That is ultimately the goal of the compensation in the tort system. I'm not aware of any statute that would specifically limit liability as to transportation costs, but I suppose it isn't an issue I've had to to litigate.
