***the widespread belief that lawsuits, particularly the “class action,” are magic wands that can banish one’s foes***

This, a particular scam that effects transfer of wealth to the privileged class: the lawyer.

I explained to my son who was the recipient of a class action settlement: the lawyers have no legal standing in the particular grievance at issue. They advertise: you may be entitled to substantial compensation... and you may well be. The lawyers need agrieved clients that they can represent.

However, when the lawyers recover research expenses and legal fees, your substantial compensation is likely to be in the two of these figure range.

That was the case in my son's involvement; he got $15 and change. I have no idea how much the lawyers got... plus these cases can take a long time with challenges and appeals. sigh

As many foreigners with phones and some technical know how perceive: many Americans are saps that can be ensnared by a little greed stimulus.
