I’m just hoping we can take it up where we left off yesterday instead of doing the entire thing all over again.

Thank you. Please accept my apology for calling you a moron.

Just like the tobacco settlements of yesteryear......it’s always the lawyers searching for a buck.

Shakespeare was right.

When General Motors and Ford sell more cars, they are involved in more accidents. They undoubtedly advertise more in those places where they sell more cars. Does that mean that the car companies are responsible for additional accidents in those places? That they are purposefully plotting to create more accidents?

seems to me this analogy doesn't quite cover Johnson & Johnson's dilemma.
GM dealers can't get paid by Ford to promote Ford products.

this case is taking the same path as the tobacco lawsuits and it's probably where it's going to end up.
Already, OK reached a $270 million deal with Purdue Pharma and an $85 million settlement with Teva Pharmaceuticals.

I suppose it could stretch to anybody who becomes a "spokesperson" for any company.

should be interesting...
