+2 Fabulous picks. Seems like a great guy, with a great family, a great sense of humor, and a strong background in law that will serve him well. |
So, neither of you are employees? If one was an employee, it would be quite rationale to say this good-looking family guy will not support your basic rights. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/07/brett-kavanaugh-seaworld |
pp here and to 12:53 I ask - how do you consider someone's family and sense of humor play into your rights and the rule of law? Just because he has two daughters doesn't mean that he supports women's rights. Just because he's friendly at the school auction, does not mean he supports your rights as an employee. |
Nothing matters to cons except “owning the libs.” Nothing. Even overturning Roe would be a win for them not because they care about life - everyone knows they don’t - but because it would be the ultimate own in their pitiful little minds. |
I'm an employee and I recognize that there are some jobs that are inherently more dangerous than others. Some people are willing to work in those jobs, some are not. Employees are free to choose and demand compensation for the risk. As long as the employer is not negligent, I don't see what the issue is. Logging, for example, is extremely dangerous, it doesn't mean the logging company is responsible for all deaths and injuries. |
So it was the SeaWorld trainer's fault for not demanding extra compensation? Yes, technically he probably could have gotten a "safer" shitty part-time job at Walmart without benefits (and then gotten Federal SNAP benefits on you and me). That's a very pro-business response. |
Banality of ignorance. |

It's not anyone's fault. Accidents happen when working in a job that has inherent dangers. The trainer knew it and accepted the risk. Whether the trainer decides to work at SeaWorld or Walmart is his/her decision. |
+100 You have to remember - some liberals feel the need to assign blame to anyone just to shift responsibility. |
The court upheld an earlier ruling that SeaWorld had violated workplace safety and Kavanaugh was the lone dissenter. It's about basic workplace regulations, not some random accident. I would garner that a vast majority of employees feel the government should protect them from unsafe and unsanitary work conditions. Kavanaugh has not demonstrated that this is a right. |
In a nut shell, Kavanaugh was born into, grew up in, was educated and worked exclusively in a wealthy Wash/Ivy League bubble, insulated from the problems affecting the rest of the country. The man, who can’t relate to any of people’s struggles, will have our lives in his hands. Another step backwards under Trump. |
Yup. Well illustrated here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/the-elite-world-of-brett-kavanaugh/2018/07/11/504d945e-8492-11e8-8f6c-46cb43e3f306_story.html?utm_term=.af054899bd39&wpisrc=nl_buzz&wpmm=1 |
