Walmart loses lawsuit, not sure I agree
Check out this story about Walmart losing a lawsuit brought by a man with cerebal palsy who says he was discriminated against. I don't necessarily disagree with the man winning, but let me get this straight, he gets $2.5 million becuase they hired him for the pharmacy and then after 1 day had him getting carts and cleaning the parking lot? I am not trying to justify what Walmart allgedly did, but for that this guy gets $2.5 million (of a total award of $7.5 million).
I am all for protecting those with disabilities but sometimes things go too far.

Another case of somebody winning the lawsuit lottery. Save the multi-million verdicts for someone dying or being permanently disabled.
One of the women in the singles club I belong to in Peoria has cerebal palsy. She had spinal surgery almost a year ago and has been stuck in the hospital or nursing home ever since - her family is looking into a malpractice suit, since she is far more impaired than before surgery.
