I wasn't saying you implied anything. I was saying rolandog seemed to go beyond general cynicism about corporations to an unreasonable complaint.

Looking at the details, I could say Kroger shouldn't have hired her but I'd rather say that if she was dangerous enough to not hire as a driver then her license shouldn't have been reinstated in the first place. (Though that's if "couldn’t recall if her driver’s license was suspended just months before he hired her" means it actually was suspended, and Bike Law isn't doing some trickery with wording.)

Either way good they paid out.

For the shutdown, I do think it's a coincidence. They're shutting down facilities in multiple states and that lawsuit isn't even a tenth of a percent of the relevant costs.

Thanks for correcting me, I would've sworn this was about a truck with autopilot. So, if I'm understanding it correctly: although the driver was at fault, there were systematic failures in training personnel that would've prevented an unqualified driver from driving the truck?

Yeah, that seems about right. It's a failure but it's not tied closely to regulation and it's not something that should affect their overall plans.
