How quickly do you all forget

People who think they could win an age discrimination suit against IBM: do you remember two years ago when journalists (Mother Jones or some similar site) did all the research and managed to prove that IBM was discriminating based on age when it comes to layoffs? Do you remember what happened? Everybody was upset for a full 5 minutes and then it all went away like it always does. And there was proof! But nobody cared once the dust settled down.

You need to research all the settled cases. You do!
