In this situation a transferring of all assets would be termed “Fraudulent Conveyance”. Any fraudulent conveyance made to attempt to escape liability can be “clawed back”. If you purposely make yourself “judgment-proof” after a dispute has materialized, you will not get away with it

That is good to know. Thank you.

Another possibility is that Harjinder Singh is not his real name. They might be using the same false name for mutliple persons - a shikh John Doe.

Drivers unfortunately do not yet expect these highways to be filled with commercial drivers with an IQ below the threshold considered retarded.

Driving with the expectation that any driver can pull the dumbest maneuver is not sustainable.

All CDL’s from CA and WA should be invalid for travel out of state or on interstates until an external audit certifies that ALL of their licensees meet the Federal criteria.

Not necessarily by state but certainly by examiner.

If the FAA has too many pilots fail flight reviews, their instructor gets reviewed and can lose their instructor license.

Every CDL issued by whoever issued the ignoramus a CDL needs to be reviewed. If more than three - the CDL issuer needs to be in prison.

I heard on the radio the trucking company has gone out of business.

There are a lot of fly by night trucking companies these days.

Same owner, seven names, get shut down for violations, back to business new name, new front.

You are blaming the minivan driver. You don't know if he was inattentive, and you clearly have no concept of what it takes to stop a car traveling at highway speeds. The minivan driver had zero chance of avoiding that accident. Here's why:

Common US highway speed is about 70 mph. At 70 mph, a car's typical stopping distance on a dry road is about 315 feet. This includes both the distance traveled while the driver reacts, and the distance traveled while the brakes are applied.

Based on an average car length of 16 feet, 100 feet would be approximately 6 car lengths. So 315 feet would be about 1890 feet (630 yards). You can see in the video that the minivan was already closer than 1890 feet when the trailer blocked all lanes.

Truck is probably owned and registered to a shell company of a shell company of a shell company under a LLC with a fake name to protect the real owner. The aviation world does that to avoid being sued if they crash.

It takes over 350 feet to fully stop at 70 miles per hour with 1.5 seconds of reaction time and then braking to a stop. And that's on dry pavement. Wet pavement takes it to over 480 feet. The video makes it appear the pavement is wet, but that could just be the video.

Take the fact that it may take a second or two to process what's going on and that there is no escape (van moved left to avoid the rig on the right then has nowhere to go as the tractor and trailer turn and cover all lanes). That video is slowed down. Play it at speed and the truck driver cut the van off with less than a football field's worth of distance between them.

While negligent homicide charges would be appropriate in my opinion, the civil suits should bankrupt the trucking company and also go after the state officials who fraudulently gave the driver a CDL and anyone else who helped him obtain that CDL.

Agree and sue the trucking company examples must be made about DEI and gross incompetence placing others at high rish of death.

New Mexico is also at fault. Singh was cited for speeding there in July and NM ignored current Federal requirements for English Language Proficiency. It was clear to the Florida authorities he was not proficient. NM is trying to make excuses but they should be liable with the rest

The argument that no good HR department would hire a second person with the same name probably doesn’t apply here. If they can’t find qualified drivers, they probably can’t find good HR people, either. (Which makes it hard to find good drivers.)

The owner may be doing the hiring. The interview may be consist of two questions. Are you Punjabi? When can you start?

And the distance towards self-driving cars gets shorter. Less freedom for all of us.

😮. Quite the tour de force there. My experience with those AI bots is that you need to prod them a couple of times before getting usuable responses. They seem to be lazy.

Yesterday I was looking to solve a small computing issue and the AI recommended a specific app from a specific source. Downloaded that, ran it through VirusTotal and got a bad result in return. Gave that to the AI and the repsonse was that I was smart to run it through VirusTotal and that a clean version could be found at xyz etc. Bastard!

I agree with you.

My question was vague in only asking if a "company" would hire a second person with the same name as someone who demolished an 88-year-old county bridge, not mentioning HR at all.

In this case, I suspected that it was a Punjabi trucking business in a Punjabi area of Bakersfield that was owned by a Punjabi man (and was next to a Punjabi tire store) who hired Punjabi drivers. There is no "HR" in a setup like that.

Mine, too. I'm an experienced facilitator and interviewer, so I'm practiced in starting with broad, open-ended questions to let the interviewee (in this case the AI bot) start with its answer to set the frame, and then I ask a few follow-up questions to test the answer's credibility, and then ask another open-ended question.

At that point, if the AI starts to drift back to "botness," I will briefly treat it as a "hostile" witness and ask more directive questions, often supplying backing evidence. At that point, the AI either challenges the evidence, dismisses it as "not credible based on lack of widespread reporting," or agrees that it was mistaken.

If it does the first two options, I will terminate the conversation and start over. If it does the third, then I continue on.

That's what happened in this conversation. The AI relied on a single-sourced story claiming there were two Harjinder Singhs from a fringe news source (the whimsical "Not The Bee", which claims to report news (not parody), but with a humorist twist). Normally, the AI rejects my arguments when the source is something like Gateway Pundit or similar sites (even when they publish guest columns or rewrites of other sources) as not credible. I ask why they consider Gateway Pundit as not credible when sources like the New York Times has been publishing completely fake news about the Biden administration for four years. It hems and haws and finally says that despite the NYT being wrong in those cases, it still follows a rigorous editorial process. But it then sheepishly agress that all sides need cautious review before considering the stories as not credible. At least that's something that I can leverage.

When I challenged the AI as to why it accepted the Not The Bee story as fact when they relied on the provided drivers license birthdates to conclude two different people without considering that illegal aliens use fake IDs, the AI did a 180 and opened its eyes to the rest of what I posted.

That is a good strategy; thanks for some pointers.

Getting information out of clients is part of my job, so I ask lots of questions as well - perhaps under different circumstances as you do, though.
