The money will be disbursed. As such the deal is done. I'm merely a message board poster delving into some of the idiosyncracies of this type of case. To me this is actually a very fascinating example of government gone totally arwy.  Through the process of this thread we have seen that what we had here was a class action lawsuit with few if any victims. For all intents and purposes the awarding of these monies was nothing more then state sponsered welfare. No one could acount for damages that required the compensation they recieved. None had even filed grievances on the issue.  Those then taking this money could not justify it through the meal issue itself so they generally justified it through the I'm a good upser I deserve the money just because reason.  It was an interesting exercise because many of these posters would swear up and down that they had integrity but when presented with a substantial windfall that was not earned for the meal reason they  found ways to justify their exceptance of this victimless money. This type of lawsuit in which a beneficiary is drafted into a lawsuit as captive labor could very well be one good reason why companies avoid setting up shop in California if possible. It could certainly be one good reason why California pays so much more for their goods and services then the rest of the country. I would like to see this class action captivity drawn out to its fullest of extremism. Can we find 5 or 6 gay drivers to file a class action lawsuit based on discrimination. And if so will we then find the california courts assume all 6000 drivers in california are gay? Or will they they then realize the lunacy of their class action system and try to reduce the pool in some fashion.  Again all fascinating stuff. I thank you for participating. </blockquote>
