"If Costco can demonstrate that the decision to close the store was based on legitimate business reasons unrelated to the unionization such as financial performance or strategic restructuring then the action may be legal.

"Makes sense especially the lack of a meaningful true zero point. But I still think the test I proposed would be much closer to a ratio measure than IQ it would just lose validity below a certain level. But that level would already be considered deeply mentally disabled so its not even that interesting anyway; I think what most people would be more interested in is quantifying how much more capable a given gifted person is than some baseline level that is prevalent in society and still basically able to function in life"
