Our Achilles heal?
Good title.
While law suits can help to keep people honest, I think the pendulum has gone to the other direction and instead is encouraging people to be dishonest for a buck. Now we have to insure our insurance from our insurance company...just to be sure.
If CEO's increased their pay at the same rate as Average Americans
their pay would average $1,384,890 not $10,621,000 |

We've become a society of little wusses, everyone wants to sue everyone over any little thing. It's pathetic, all part of the wussification of America. This lady has to cancel a parade and party over fears that some entitlement minded punk will sue, very sad.

Couldn't see what the story was about but do see many goffy lawsuits. If I do mine against my city employer, it will be because they are the goofy acting ones, haha.

Of course, all they gotta do is give a little payday to the one who brings the litigation and they think they made easy money. They always forget the lawyers and government take the lions share.

Lawyers cover every angle
This is a sign on the door leaving a lawyers office.
