Great read. Most of this I already knew, but I didn't know anything about Act 2 and other efforts to immunize lead paint producers from lawsuits (after hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from a lead paint magnate)

I wonder if the Supreme Court will take the case.

Blubb should've been banned a long time ago. Dude has a despicable post history of trying to condone sexual assault and always questioned either the victim or the work ethic of those involved to investigate. Hope he steps in front of a bus.

**archibaldcrane** · 2016-09-15 20:07

Feel bad for the bus tbh

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2016-09-15 22:12

the bus probably has it coming tbh, i bet it doesnt even have a muffler on. and i mean really, how different from parking is hitting someone really? mechanically not that different. vehicle comes to a stop etc.

edit: besides, think logically: that bus driver is a lazy freeloading SJW. do i need to hop on the "lynch the blubb" bandwagon to not be treated like a piece of shit?

Eh, I wouldn't say things ended well. She was alive. That's literally the only positive. Since it's local I inadvertently discovered more details. It's fucking horrifying.

What i meant by that was that she was alive and the kidnapper was caught. But yes, your right it is absolutely horrifying.

An 8th grader had to teach a math class for a month because Detroit schools were so understaffed, lawsuit alleges [video]

A lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday against Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and other state education officials paints an abysmal picture of schooling within the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD), the state's largest public-school district that serves nearly 50,000 students.

Filed on behalf of seven black and Latino students who attend five of the lowest performing schools in Detroit, the suit describes "slum-like conditions" at the schools, "lacking the most basic educational opportunities." They also serve more than 97% low-income students of color.

Because of these conditions, the suit argues, students remain "separate and unequal" and can't attain "the level of literacy necessary to function," in addition to proficiency in other subjects. As such, the suit alleges the district violates their due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment.

"For years, classrooms and campuses have been unable to satisfy minimal state health and safety standards, let alone deliver basic education," the suit reads.

“We are concerned with the literacy levels of all children in Michigan,” State Superintendent Brian Whiston told Business Insider in an email. “However, we have not received the lawsuit yet and cannot speak directly to its claims.”

Last year, the seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher at Hamilton left the school due to frustration about class size and lack of support. After a few failed attempts finding a replacement, the "highest performing" eighth-grade student took over teaching both grade levels for a month, the suit alleges.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wells Fargo CEO Stumpf: 'Gutless leadership'

Sen. Warren: Stumpf should be criminally investigated Sen. Warren: Stumpf should be criminally investigated
5 Hours Ago | 01:55
Sen. Elizabeth Warren relentlessly pressed Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf on Tuesday during the Senate committee hearing on Wells Fargo's account-opening practices.

The Democratic senator questioned his accountability and the stock gains he profited from during the time millions of unauthorized accounts were opened at the bank, ultimately recommending he resign, return the money he earned during that time and be criminally investigated by the SEC and the Department of Justice.

Read the exchange, she rips this guy to shreds.

Retaliating against whistleblowers is a major breach of trust. Ethics hotlines are exactly the kind of safeguards put in place to prevent illegal activity from taking place and provide refuge to employees from dangerous work environments.
Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf made precisely that point on Tuesday when he testified before angry Senators.
"Each team member, no matter where you are in the organization, is encouraged to raise their hands," Stumpf told lawmakers. He mentioned the anonymous ethics line, adding, "We want to hear from them."
But that's not the experience of some former Wells Fargo workers.
One former Wells Fargo human resources official even said the bank had a method in place to retaliate against tipsters. He said that Wells Fargo would find ways to fire employees "in retaliation for shining light" on sales issues. It could be as simple as monitoring the employee to find a fault, like showing up a few minutes late on several occasions.
"If this person was supposed to be at the branch at 8:30 a.m. and they showed up at 8:32 a.m, they would fire them," the former human resources official told CNNMoney, on the condition he remain anonymous out of fear for his career.

If anymore stories start coming out on this subject i will create a new thread in the Youtube comments section.
