Costless lawsuits, anyone?
Kausfiles comments on Brian Williams of NBC calling the Supreme Court’s ruling on age bias “a big win for millions of workers over 40″:
“NBC’s hardly the first to buy into the facile plaintiff’s lawyer’s notion that a “win” in a particular lawsuit for a particular group of people means a “win” in the larger sense–as if litigation were costless and free of perverse consequences, as if damage awards are a bonus that materialized out of the ether.”
Yup.
