Ledbetter argues that there is a “paycheck accrual rule”, as noted in Bazemore v. Friday 448 U.S. 385 (1986). Which means, if a company issues a check that is notably less than a comparable employee's, it is a discriminatory action against the employee, and causes the statue of limitations to refresh. Judge Alito writes in his opinion, “We have previously held that the time for filing a charge of employment discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC) begins when the discriminatory act occurs. We have explained that this rule applies to any '[d]iscreteac[t]' of discrimination, including discrimination in 'termination, failure to promote, denial of transfer, [and]refusal to hire.'

As a lender, I would have no problem giving a loan to Tire City, Inc to help finance their growth for the following reasons. The first thing that is apparent is the annual revenue growth. It is expected to steadily increase by 5% in the coming years. This means that Tire City has strong operating cash flows to fund its day-to-day operations. Additionally, Tire City, Inc has improved in total asset turnover over the years, suggesting that they are indeed growing their revenue in proportion to sales. Also, their net margin, gross margin, and return on equity have stayed constant over the years. It is good that there has been no significant decrease in these ratios.

Many critical factors caused the company’s failure in the United States. In the early 1980s, the United States faced a severe recession due to the establishment of a contractionary monetary policy which reflected negatively on the American economy. Other factors to consider is the fact that Canadian Tire poorly chose to open up its stores in underdeveloped areas. Furthermore, one of the disadvantages in the beginning of a global expansion includes the loss of control. As a result of these factors, the American stores didn’t experience much growth and stores had to continuously slash prices on already low priced products. With low rates of growth and increasing competition from retail companies such as Walmart and Target which had a large group of loyal customers, Canadian Tire stood no chance in the American market.…

Snow tires or winter tires are different than regular tires. They have tread patterns specifically designed to dig down and bite into snow and ice, plus they are made from softer rubber compounds that retain their flexibility in cold weather, allowing the tire to better conform to the surface of the road. Whereas regular tires tend to get hard and brittle in cold temperatures. As a result, winter tires keep a better grip on snowy and icy surfaces than regular all-season or summer tires. Grip is critical, in not just to avoid getting stuck, but to ensure that the car can stop and steer. Life-saving safety technologies such as antilock brakes, electronic stability control and all-wheel-drive cannot do their jobs if the tires can't maintain their grip on the road surface.…
