It amazes me that people who can’t distinguish between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ are allowed to manage people

    She found for me, AND made them pay my legal fees. After two years of worry, it was one of the most satisfying days of my life.

    This is great, but at the end of the day, they still harassed you with their bs lawsuit, and they still gave you 2 years of stress. Justice would be them getting counter-sued and you getting compensation for psychological trauma. (even though you will never get your health back 100% from a process like that.)

      One reason why there are so many nonsense lawsuits in the US is that unlike Europe and the UK, it’s unusual that the loser has to pay the winner’s costs. In Europe that’s standard. As a result, an American person or group is much more likely to sue, because if they lose all it costs them is their own legal fees. AFAIK they also do the reasonable thing and cap fees so that if someone sues a rich multinational corp and loses, they’re not out millions of dollars because the multinational hired a huge, expensive team to defend themselves.

      Justice would really be a world where these nonsense lawsuits didn’t happen at all.
