Booster4324 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 So should we be more upset with Alfredo Garcia and his scams or with his lawyer, Morse Mehrban. Link Confined to a wheelchair in California? You may be entitled to $4,000 each time you can't use something at a business because of your disability. Some examples are mirrors in restrooms that are mounted too high on the wall to see your reflection; dispensers (paper towel, soap, toilet seat cover, etc.) or clothing hooks that you can't reach because they are mounted too high above the floor; or toilets you can't use because they lack 2 grab (support) bars (handrails). You probably run into such problems regularly. Some Scenarios: You stop by a hardware store and need to use the restroom but find there are no grab (support) bars (handrails) next to the toilet. You may be entitled to $4,000. You're in a restaurant and want to use the restroom mirror to make yourself presentable. The mirror is mounted too high on the wall for you to use. You may be entitled to $4,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hardware store's restroom has to be ADA compliant? Disabled Person: I need to use your restroom Hardware store owner: The restroom is for customers only Disabled Person: Ok, I'll take this hammer.

KD in CA Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Boy, you guys ain't seen nothin' yet. The newest "progressive" measure was recently signed into law. SB 459 provides for civil penalties (including 'damages') for employers who "mis-classify" workers as independent contractors instead of employees AND fines of $5,000 to $25,000 per instance AND forces companies found "guilty" to post scarlet-letter notices on their company websites declaring that they have "committed a serious violation of the law." Oh well....at least CA has provided a clear and objective standard for how to differentiate IC from employee, right? NOPE. They didn't bother to include that in the bill. Oh well...at least you can go find an expert on the subject to advise you, right? NOPE. The new law extends the penalties to anyone who advises a company to classify someone as an IC. Oh yes....and the law further adds the requirement of mandatory state reporting in the event that you do hire an IC. So in essence, you are now required to call up the state and invite them in for an audit if you hire an IC -- so that they can challenge your classification and levy a huge fine against you. But on the bright side, I'm sure the state auditors won't have any agenda to find "new revenue" for the state.

It's Economics 101. He also said the government creates the money and gives it to people to spend, which is how the economy works. So, in Dave_in_NorfolkLand, the people own the government, hence the money the government creates, and then the government gives the people an allowance from their own money to let them buy things. And pay taxes to the government, with the money that the government creates and gives us. One has to wonder: why pay taxes at all, if the government just makes money and gives it to us?

In another thread he posted "tax more! tax more! tax more!" So I think his logic is that if they take more money they'll have more money to give us to spend.

Let's not dismiss his ideas hastily. We could extend his theories to energy and become self sufficient.
