1. Illegals not the only ones fleeing
My niece's SO is a Mexican/American from NY. She doesn't like what they are doing there and wants to move back to NY.

Agent Orange Product Liability Litigation


The massive use of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange by the US military in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War had, by the 1980s, become a major source of embarrassment for the US. In addition to devastating the Vietnamese population—some 400,000 people died from the chemical and 500,000 children were born with birth defects—tens of thousands of US soldiers had experienced direct exposure. They reported a wide array of symptoms, from various cancers to birth defects among their children.

A class action lawsuit was gaining steam against Agent Orange’s manufacturers when Feinberg was brought in to resolve the case. Within six weeks, he had ended the eight-year-old lawsuit by establishing a $180 million fund, a small amount for Agent Orange’s producers, the chemical giants Dow and Monsanto. For his labors Feinberg was paid $800,000. Affected veterans were given $1,200 in exchange for disavowing their right to litigate.



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

$1,200.00 for getting Cancer from Agent Orange..and Birth defects to their children..wow $1,200 bucks..isn't that just grand!:sarcasm: :sarcasm: ............

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Dalkon Shield case

Feinberg was appointed Trustee of the victim compensation fund for Dalkon Shield, a notorious birth control device that manufacturer A. H. Robins sold in the 1970s in spite of evidence that it caused serious injury among women.


According to the May 1996 journal HealthFacts, “235,000 American women suffered injuries, most of which involved life-threatening pelvic infections. Many cases were severe enough to cause hospitalization, permanent infertility, complete hysterectomy, and/or chronic pelvic pain. There were over 200 documented cases of a rare, potentially lethal type of infected miscarriage called spontaneous septic abortion. Ultimately, 20 women died of complications associated with the Dalkon Shield.”

snip:

While Feinberg’s trust gave most women $725 or less, A.H. Robins was saved.


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and who was in charge of giving out the money to families of 9/11?

oppps..yep Kenneth Feinberg..same guy Bush used for the fucking of Americans and the deaths of Americans ..for the worst failure of this nation!! Some of who were my co-workers and several of my neighbors kids..

Same filthy bastard the repukes use..that is who Obama chose to fuck the people of the Gulf!
