California intervenes in gender discrimination lawsuit against Riot Games

The state of California is intervening in a class action settlement over alleged gender discrimination and sexual harassment at Riot Games, the video game developer behind “League of Legends,” The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The company reached a preliminary settlement with former female employees who brought a lawsuit last year, agreeing to pay them $10 million.

However, the state believes that figure is far less than what the women deserve. After two state agencies weighed in, California is now asking the gaming company to pay the women $400 million.

When the last worker follows the last business Leaving California, who will they tax then?
Welfare recipients don’t pay taxes.
Homeless don’t pay taxes.
Illegals don’t pay taxes.
Most movies and tv shows are shot in other states or Canada. The studios and executives are still in Cali...until the state taxes them to death.

Who will fund the Socialist Utopia of California then?

Better sell now before California decides your house really belongs to the state.
Or makes you pay an exit tax when you leave the state.
Don’t put either past them.

Heck. Why stop at only $400 million? Why not $400 trillion?

The irony is Riot Games is ultraSJW. Guess the virtue signaling doesn’t work.

“...before California outlaws more things”

Aren’t gender discrimination and sexual harassment illegal everywhere in the US?
