You've been reading up on the Castro trial?

Doesn't seem like such would be a sensible business strategy. If the average woman is larger, seems like going after a tiny (tee-hee) piece of the market isn't a winning strategy.

Not every winning strategy has to target the broadest mass market, I don't think.

I'm also not sure that not carrying plus sizes counts as discrimination.

Yes. I have most of the equipment already.

My wife can only shop at very few stores because most of them only carry fat clothes. There IS an under-served market there. Other women her size often resort to shopping in the girls section, but it's hard to look professional in that circus clown stuff and she's got an adult job. She wears a lot of Ann Taylor I think.

I tried to get my wife to work in her birthday suit.

QuoteWe will continue to vigorously seek to hold accountable, and bring to trial when necessary, those who commit fraud on Wall Street."

Mr. Tourre, a 34-year-old Frenchman who is enrolled in a doctoral economics program at the University of Chicago, now faces a fine, or worse, a ban from the Wall Street.

Judge Katherine B. Forrest has the final say on monetary sanctions, be it disgorgement of profits made from the trade in question or a fine. The fine could range from $5,000 to $130,000 per violation.

LOLZ, I'm sure he's quaking in his chaussures over it.
