Same. Nobody wants to spend an extra 45 minutes getting to the desert or the river. Plus toys require land and unless you're in Nelly Gale you ain't finding much in south county. The Glamis/Havasu crowd mostly reside in Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, Orange, etc...

Can confirm. Grew up in Orange. Went to Glamis 5x a year, Parker 3x a year and Mexico 1x a year. 

Now I like in MV and I go to San Diego and Santa Barbara

Can we get back to this idea of blarg being a pimp?

The more alt-right he gets, the more progressive liberation theology Christian I get.

I can't believe I'm defending cals here, even in an indirect way.

What kind of accountability should businesses have for their employees who get injured on the job?

I pay like $500/year.  Why anyone would care so much about an injury claim is beyond me.  I get these dipshits sitting in on depositions and writing keys to the defense attorneys and shit.  And I’m friends with a lot of these defense authorneys and they hate that shit.  And the dudes always look almost comically douchey.  Next time I get one on Zoom I’ll take some pics and share them.

I had a 1 hour hearing in PA yesterday at 6:30 and got the guy to admit he was lying in the 59th minute. It was great

I just want to take a moment to remember all those on the political board who have died from Covid 19. Rest in peace dear friends.

RIP Brian

I think a guy that used to post here (not a whole lot) passed away from Covid. @Chuckster70 mentioned it last year. @RePLAYwas the username I think he went by.

That's a pretty broad question.

We have a 100 year old system in place.  It's not great but it's a system.  It's why you buy workers' comp insurance (which is very reasonable in cost unless you're running a tree trimming service or something). 

How far do you dig with potential clients to ensure they're not lying?

Despite what you hear 99.9% of these people are not lying.

You might get some exaggeration here and there, but all out faked injuries? Very, very rare.

Most of these are good folks getting screwed by a broken system. 

I believe you.

This is a fine story but I spent 5 years at Compex Legal Services as an account manager and State Fund was my largest WC account. I'd estimate that between 60-70% of the WC claimants in our system had previous WC files with at least 1, usually 3-6 additional employers. It's a system alright - for deadbeats and ambulance chasers who graduated from law school in Barstow and barely passed the bar.

Youi worked for a copy service?  I didn't know you were that pathetic.

And State Fund is like the Mets of workers' comp carriers.  

And here's a hint: injured workers with no previous cases don't have previous case records to subpoena. 

That's like coming to the AW politics board and judging America as a whole by it.

I'm sure I took calls from your office slut and told her that records weren't ready because of custodial delays at the hospital when in reality I just didn't want to send your office the records.

Just to answer that first part, I think when Chuck let us know about it, it was last year before the vaccine came out. If I remember correctly.

Honestly you're the first non Mexican chick I've ever heard even worked at a copy service. 

They replaced all the whiteys with Mexicans in 2008

That's correct. So far that's all I know from here who has passed away from Covid. Super sad. The guy was in his early 40's, had a beautiful wife and 4 kids.  

I know a bunch who have gotten Covid and thankfully survived.

Yeah he passed back in June of 2020, so I'm not sure he was even eligible for the vax at that point being that he was in his early 40's.

How many accounts does AW have now @Chuckster70?
