More’s the pity America doesn’t have the English rule.

You could be right.

I don’t speak either Russian or Polish and am only familiar with a few of their more endearing terms.

Good. I hope they all die of hunger in the gutter somewhere.

How about 535 doctors get to write laws to impoverish lawyers.

Well said!

A guy on CNBC said China has central planning by engineers, mathematicians, and scientists, and the US has central planning by lawyers. We're guaranteed to lose.

"All our fees and expenses are at risk," Sellers said, referring to the Wal-Mart case.

To clarify, their fees are not at risk. Only their time and expenses are at risk. The cost of their time is much lower than their billing rate or they wouldn't bother.

Parasites.

They were looking for a BIG payoff - in the 9 figure category of BIG.

These class action suits and their humongous awards in the hundreds of millions or billions are nothing but legalized extortion and theft.

Who gets punished?
People who use the service or product - that would be you and me.

Who gets rich? Scumbag lawyers.

But we get a coupon when we “win”! Nothing enrages me like being a “plaintiff” in a class action suit that I had nothing to do with, nor cared about. And the award is some useless coupon or discount. I remember one I got was good for $100 off my next FULL FARE Carnival cruise. I also got one where I got an “extra” rental from Netflix. The lawyers got MILLIONS. This $hit has to stop. NOW!

Hopefully this rat b@stard’s corrupt, ambulance-chasing, blood-sucking practice will go under and he’ll have to find a real job. Maybe Walmart will hire him as a greeter.

I hope the judge rules for a full reimbursement.

Thanks for the reply.

That’s good. In avowed socialist countries, the central planners are engineers, mathematicians, scientists. Ours are lawyers.
