“Remember the old days when an Attorney General was supposed to prosecute the breakers of existing laws, NOT write new ones.”
I don’t know what the true cure would be, but there really is a problem with unfair crooked business practices in this country. And the why AGs do not act on law is because all businesses now make you sign a civil contract that they can absolutely screw you if they like and you agree to never sue them or bring charges against them. AGs have no state authority over these civil contract agreements. We live in a contract legal system. The courts uphold contracts even if it means handing over your first born child if that is what you signed.
Right off the bat an example is the medical industry. Before ANY medical treatment of ANY kind they make you sign a contract that you will never sue them for malpractice. They make you wave your right to legally protect yourself from malpractice. And if you do not sign, or a family member does not sign, they let you die right there on the ER bed... You can’t even get a doctor to treat you without signing away and waving all your personal legal protections first.
Just try to get phone service without signing a contract giving them all legal immunity and carte blanche that equates to them owning you and your phone from now on. And they all do this, so if you don’t agree you cannot get phone service ANYWHERE from ANYONE.
If anything needs to be legally addressed it would be these initial contracts which force you to agree to give them full legal protections and carte blanche to do anything they want to you through extortion. All the State criminal laws in the world cannot be enforced if you agreed to allow them to practice criminality through civilian contract.
Loser pays could stop a lot of this.
