It's because the EU goes based off the clear intent of the law (yes, many are vague af, but many are quite clear as well). In the US, our courts allow those nitpicky bullshit loopholes to set precedence. And my favorite legal argument in the US is a judge going "there is no precedence for it, sorry". Like, bruh, set the precedence. You think a judge has never done such before? What are they gonna do, overturn your case. It's so hard for a judge at _any_ level to receive reprimanding. I believe it's because they want to allow shitty corrupt behavior, but don't want to look like a dick doing so. Idk 🤷

The Disney TOS in their Disney+ app meaning you can't sue Disneyland/Disneyworld is actually disgusting, and I've made a point of telling everyone who has children to never take their kids there. Disney turned magic into lawyer magic Yes I know that Disney dropped that clause for the man, but they only did that after millions outcried on social media. Disney hopes that you will forget.

There are some who aren't as bad as others, proven by how they vote and what they are pushing to approve or decline being exactly in line with corporate greed and interest. Yet so many vote for the ones who blatantly, always prove their a corporate puppet because as hard as corporations/wealthy work to lobby and pay off politicians, they work even harder at making sure the general population votes for the politicians that are the most easily manipulated and bought. There's people who are so gullible they watch their news(corporate wealth propaganda) and believe everything they hear, get outraged and goes to vote for the very people the corporations/wealthy use to screw over everyone else, AND THEY THINK THEY ARE VOTING AGAINST THE CORPORATIONS/WEALTHY. At a certain point you have to blame the gullible and uneducated voters instead the corporations/wealthy. People preach small government and don't want government regulations because they're too stupid to realize corporations/wealthy want small government/lack of regulations so they can screw over everyone else easier, and that's why "small government, less regulations" is such a talking point on their propaganda news.

Mass arbitration actually turns their own arbitration device against them. If thousands of people file arbitration, the company's going to have a hell of a time dealing with all those arbitration cases. That should be the way going forward. At that point the companies would wish that there instead would be a class action lawsuit.

Interestingly, a small local company I used to work tried to get everyone to sign arbitration agreements. The HR person was also very easy going about the clause, describing it as “no big deal” and refused to describe what the contract really meant for us. Thanks to my coworkers, I quickly learned that this was a way to prevent us from doing a class action lawsuit, which the company was already dealing with (for paying an employee from a different part of the company under minimum wage). So, when we refused to sign the paperwork, the HR & Manager said that we would be let go from our positions… so I decided to quit shortly after. I wish it was as easy as quitting to pull out of a massive corporation’s arbitration clause though.

Another reason they want to use arbitration is that each case starts with a clean sheet. Someone could have prevailed the day before (not likely, but go with me here) on an extremely similar scenario. But your arbitrator is barred from sharing that result and if you don't make the same argument then you could lose even so. Its like I was screwed by Amazon out of 10K or so on my Amazon Seller account. My option is arbitration and I haven't been able to confirm that ANYONE has ever prevailed against Amazon. I hired a lawyer to "negotiate" with them short of legal action and they told my lawyer to pound sand. Why not, they know he had no legal recourse and THEY OWN their processes including arbitration.

After this, be alert when collecting data with whatever means so you can wish them to have fun pounding sand while you getting free rights to distribute this data.

My favorite judges are the ones who demand a company turn over their documents. The the company thinks they're clever and send tens to hundreds of thousands of memos. Most judges be like "lol, good luck defense." But on that rare occasion, it's cool to see a judge releases documents to the public to crowdsource. It makes the whole litigation process much worse for the company. Though, when found guilty, I'm of the opinion that companies have to give the money, not as a cash prize (that we'll end up footing), but rather in the form of shares. The government would then have a _financial_ incentive to keep the company on track, or else they risk losing their money too.

Smoking was a bad example as people knew smoking was bad for you health and addictive for a long time. The "Discovery" that did the smoking industry in was not the reveal that most already knew. It was that they were intentionally adding stuff to make them MORE addictive. They even made a movie about it. Though this was due to an investigative reporter, something sadly lacking these days. Though the pull of companies is how the tobacco company got his story pulled so it wouldn't air. As a result he leaked it which forced his new studio to release the story so they didn't look like they were taking bribes to cover up the story. The incident caused him to quit that and get a job at a more honest news agency.
