I think my suggestion for a class action suit was deleted. Maybe it hit a nerve.
As I said in my comment I can't find now, cvx needs to increase severance if they want to convince us not to sue. Perhaps we should consult an attorney about a class action for discriminatory firing.

Remittance Tax on money going to India for ENGINE?
Does, Trump's new tax apply to money sent to offshoring jobs outside of US :-) ? If he is afraid of $$$ moving outside of US, then why not tax offshoring jobs, too? Wasn't his goal too keep jobs/$$$ in US?
