"A warranty of merchantability is a type of warranty that asserts that the goods are reasonably fit for its ordinary and intended purpose for which …" Stolen from Google search results reference the work to Cornell University.
Ther is an implied warranty of merchantability with regard to alcohol.
If someone drinks alcohol and gets into an accident, is it really their fault? Or has an invalid warranty of merchantability been 'sold' to them?
Should an insurance company have to foot this bill? No.
The costs should match the expenses. And in this case it is directly in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. (And I don't like Republican carnival think tank efforts to put forth a new savior that supersedes that one. Anybody else figure out that Republicans have a problem with Jesus Christ?
But what does Christ have to do with it? He condemned the rich and I know that a lot of rich people got that way from producing alcohol. Family money that doesn't go away. So this would be a directive in line with Jesus Christ!
The expenses and liabilities created by the invalid merchantability of alcohol should be paid by those who produced and sold it. They need to set up a fund.
And could that mean that it reaches the level whereby someone gets in a drunk driving accident they are let go Scott Free and the alcohol co's write a check for a mil out to the family? That would only go on so far before the public and people of lost family members would say enough! You can't do that. And at that fork in the road the decision should not be to end the specific funding but to end the product that is directly liable.
I mean they are terrible. Rather than blame alcohol or drugs for violence they would state that the weapon used is the cause of it. That is the direct liability they believe in. To me that is about as weak minded liberal thinking as you can get. So there is another fork in the road too! And that fork Republicans don't want to touch, the problem of the weak minded! They would go so far as to sell mental illness in order to protect the weak minded.
And how about this one as a kicker? In terms of the percent of the population that is unemployable due to birth defects from alcohol? Was there an implied guarantee with regard to the merchantability of alcohol that that would happen and be a preponderance? I would say so.
But bad people like to have things both ways don't they.
