I just finished reading about a woman hitting the jackpot down at a Chrysler plant in Toledo. Did she win the lotto? No, something even better. She collected six figures from one of those phony baloney sexual harassment lawsuits. She obviously subscribes to the theory: Why work when you can sue?
When are the feds and the courts going to wake up? Women like this are not innocent little victiims on their first date or working at their first job. They don't need a judge to play the big daddy role and come to their rescue. These women are con artists. They know exactly how to work a scam. This game has been going on for so long, I am surprised there are still enough suckers out there to make it work.
These women are "flim-flam" con artists. They are actresses. They pretend they are traumatized by some man asking them out. It is ridiculous. They cry. They tell a sob story. And somebody actually is dumb enough to believe them? What ever happened to common sense? The women get tired of working in those auto plants. They want to score a big payoff, a big payday, that's all it is.
I feel sorry for Chrysler or Ford or GM, because they are forced to pay off these scammers. I look at it as another operating expense, a form of government imposed extortion. These women should be arrested for fraud, for perpetrating a fraud on a company for personal gain. They should be doing time somewhere, but instead, they get rewarded.
We need to get rid of these old-timers sitting on the bench. They should have the word "sucker" tattooed on their foreheads. We need new judges that are hip to the game. Sexual harassment needs to be added to the list of frauds and confidence schemes already on the books.
