Law is much wider subject, than just litigation or representing people. Take an accountant for instance. There's whole code of law regarding tax and accounting principles. Isn't an accountant a specialist in accounting and tax law then? Or what about someone working in HR, doesn't he need to know, how much he must protect personal information of others? In the EU, we have entire set of laws about that subject. I kid you not, when I was getting my fishing license, I had to study our law, because there are some coded privileges (for instance, I can legally trespass, as long as I'm on my way to a shore or from it with my credentials as a fisherman and gear), obligations (most importantly banned methods of fishing) and rights of others when dealing with me (fishing guard can legitimize me and, if I'm found in breach, even seize my gear and papers). Doesn't that make every fisherman a specialist at law governing the practice of lake and river fishing?
Sure, she might not become a lawyer. But she doesn't need to be one. She could become a clerk, if she's ever released, and she would have the advantage of knowing multiple fields of law, allowing her to get a job at wider range of employers and positions. All it would take, is an employer, who'd give her a chance.

If I were the senator and wanted to see this done right, I'd do it simply... I'd do the same as one major Czech spedition company did for us. The bank didn't want to give us loan back then, claiming, that we'd need a deposit be made, so that the bank would give us loan to start a trucking company and buy new trucks, by the spedition company, as our guarantor, since they were the ones, who were going to hire us to move their loads (yeah, they basically treated a loan in hundreds of thousands of USD back in the 90s as a secured credit card). Well, CEO of that spedition company heard abut this, ripped that bank a new one and the next day, we and that spedition company were with a compeeting bank. Ten million USD moved that day. To my knowledge, that spedition is still with this bank they moved to with us. That is, what the governor needs to threaten Chase with.

How do you determine, how relegious someone is? Simple. You observe their activities. Take a truck driver. If he intends to visit a church as part of his relegious practices, then it is not in my right to prevent him from going there. But if he only prays at home, while chilling in his backyard, mowing lawn, then he can pray as he drives in his big rig, earning me and himself money. Given how bad certain other drivers are on the road, it might actually be recommendable practice to every driver. The person must actually practice his religion in sucha way, that it actually needs his participation outside of workplace.
That being said, employees should have to chose, between work and their religious belives. Religion is not a disability, which limit's your ability to work NOT based on your choice, physical constitution or psychological firmness! Being religeous is not like being autistic. Being religeous is not like having Turrets syndrome. Being religeous is not like being wheelchair bound. These are ablebodied, ableminded people, who think, they deserve special treatment, based on particular flavour of idiocy they chose to observe and that deserves no special treatment. Hell, it's not even like having a child, which needs upbringing! It's sickening, that accomodating idiocy is given more space and more protection, than accomodating actually disadvantaged people. People, who actually need to be at home on certain days.
If someone has to chose a different, less prosperous path in life to "accomodate" for something, that is beyond their controll or at least immediate controll, then the religious person needs give up their religious practices as well. Hell if a parrant has to chose, to leave their sick child at home and go to work, then that religious nutjob has no right to demand a Sunday off, cau'se he needs to religiously chill!

Hey man... I actually think, how this could have happened and in that wildly unlikely theory, Hertz is acutally innocent for once or at least only ignorant. Let me cast your attention to Wolt, as we all once in a while order food, we put in our card details, that are stored and waiting for us to use them again. Well Wolt keeps the information even beyond card's expiry so multiple cards can exist on an account for us to select from. As someone, who has multiple cards used for different purposes, I put purchases promised to be repaid by employer onto my travel card and then simply submit statement from that card for reimbursement. I'd argue, this man had similar situation, where he was sent on a business trip, had been given the company card and, since he was a loyal Hertz customer, he rented a car and paid for it with company card per instruction, but this way, the card ended up on his account on the count of his prior loyalty. Well, and then it is just the question of, "who picked the wrong card, when ordering a new rental?"

ehm... having multiple checking accounts is a good thing, as long as the wires cost you nothing (so, basically only usable in Europe :D), because you may need specialized accounts to wire or have cheques drained for a particular purpose. For instance, I still live with my parents, but, being an accountant, I am the best suited to handle our monthly expenses. So I went to my account (yes, crazy, that I had to request an account, right? :D), opened a second checking account, deposited base amount, calculated the amount each of us needs to contribute and set up standing order. We haven't been late on bills since. So yeah, there is definitely a reason to have multiple accounts even with the same bank... if it's requested.

Well, it ain't that easy. One. Medical stuff is handled in logistics to availability of 99,9%, which is crazy expensive, but necessary. Meaning that the starting line is pretty high as it is, and then there is the problem with complications mid during treatment. Should a hospital bear the burden of complications, which it did not cause? The answer, is a no and that is the impossible to predict moment. Doesn't matter, if you know everything, except for probability of something happening. The real question here should be, who should pay for these extras? Same holds true for emergencies. Sure, you can predict certain amount of injuries from car crashes based on statistics, but what do you do, when something outside of them happens? Say a 747 crashed on a highway at peak of rush hour. Unlikely? Yes. But given enough time, even almost impossible happens. I mean, nobody expected to Jumbos colliding on a runway, until Tenerife happened.
That being said, hospitals should be focused on helping their patients, so maybe removal of profit as an incentive is in order.

@HR-wd6cw Well, to a degree. An IP address can be tied to you by accessing some app, that can identify you, but an IP alone or a public one won't Identify you. And these days, you can even set up your router to connect to a VPN cluster and route all traffic through an encrypted tunel, meaning your exit node is not only yours. Meaning that. Meaning if you could deal with that identifiable part, eg facebook or email client, to put a trackable token on a particular IP, you'd deal with what you're talking about as well. But I do understand your point. This is a problem too and we know, just about how much companies would attempt to dodge. That is why we need I speak of liquidation fines for breaches. The companies need to know, they will get destroyed once a breach occours and that both management, former management and current and former owners will be forced to pay for it.

I mean... what the city had done is not enough. There had to be some kind of planing. Did those houses need a permit? (where I live, if you meet criteria, you don't need a permit) If so, why were those permits given? If I were a home owner, I wouldn't exactly care, that downtime is now being threatened with flooding, cause a dry poulder got filled and house I bought was build on top of that. If I were the builder, it would have been my fault. I should have researched, but if a professional construction company built something, I rightfully can presume, that it was built legally. I should not have to bear ANY costs for clear failure of the city, eg. the only appropriate remedy is either the house being moved, if possible, to a new piece of land, or a replacement copy of the house should have bee built at liable parties' expense, which here are either the city or the builder, or even both. Not just giving people money (and at which rate, given how housing had developed in prices!)

uh... Steve, this can be done already with normal cars. How? Aimply. You equip a car with some kind of proximity sensor... such as those for parking and a black box (which will be mandatory in the EU in three years, if I recall correctly), then you just code a piece of software, that tells a car, to automatically keep a certain distance from a car ahead of it (which is basically cruise controll and dad has it in his car from early 2000s). And then you just match speed with the car ahead and save the value in the black box, once distance between the two cars had not changed significantly for about 10 seconds. Alternatively you could use the parking sensors by the side of a car, as long as they manage to catch car next to yours. You use those same sensors and known distance between sensors in the front and in the back, and measure how long each had seen a passing vehicle and use vehicle's own speed as base. Since you know the distance between the sensors and length of the passing car, you can calculate speed differential and simply add it to measuring vehicle speed. And there you are. It actually makes sense even from consumer side of things. Because it would be cheaper to not develop different sensors for packing and cruise control, so deploying this would not make a difference in car price, even if the cops didn't throw kickbacks to the car makers.
