It is not at all clear that, after all the appeals are exhausted, the Baltimore Chief of Police’s decision will stand.

Police superintendents in Quincy Massachusetts have been trying for five years to dismiss a bully who likes to pick fights and then write tickets against those associated with those he picks fights with.

The solution to the paycheck fairness act is simple: Don’t hire any women.

As I understand it, the law generally exempts companies of 5 and fewer employees from many “equal opportunity” provisions (to allow for family businesses). Simply slice your company up into 5-employee units, each its own LLC.

Or use a “job shop” to actually employ your personnel and rent your employees.
