In the real world, people don’t take government jobs if they’re independently wealthy. He most likely took it to gain even more power and money. For example, why would Michael Bloomsberg spend over $100 million to win the NYC mayor’s job that pays approximately $200,000 per year? Do you think it’s because he’s a tireless defender of the “public good?”
shouldn’t the real issue be whether or not the airline is responsible? when you use airlines for transportation of goods (other than yourself and allowable luggage) do you sign a waiver of some sort saying the airline has no responsibility if the item is destroyed in any way? if no waiver is signed, i think the insurance company is correct in going after the airline.
Didn’t the article say the co paid $32,000+? Why aren’t they pursuing normal subrogation channels? Failing that I could see litigation, but so what? WGASA!!
Actually, at one time, the very wealthy felt it their duty to do things for the public good since they already feathered their nests. Public service was called “nobles oblige”, something which the general public is too skeptical to believe anymore. As for Bloomberg, he might want to run for governor or president. Even Ross Perot did that, just to have it on the resume….
This is much more fun than actually having to think about a topic. You can’t expect us to be serious all the time. Lighten up. We have enough lines that get ugly on this site.
