Americans got so happy with suing everyone that it became the norm for corporations to simply settle out of court and keep fucking everyone else. There is no change. Just outrage.

I got mine, why should you?

law suits are the only method that Americans have to tell the government "hey this person is breaking the law" when it comes to corporations. this is quite frankly false advertising. the company should get fined for this. unfortunately we don't have a government that would ever do that on their own. this is basically citizen action to enforce a law. who gets payed isn't really the point, it'll mostly be the lawyers no matter what anyway.
