What are you doing, stepporn?

I mean it's Facebook. It's never had any privacy.

The part I passionately despise is the manufactured-consent opt-out angle: You have to choose not to be a class member through fucking snail mail (at least per every administrator I’ve seen), and if you don’t take time out of your day to write and mail an enveloped letter, the court assumes you acquiesce to someone else representing your interests by default.

No rational person is gonna do that every time in exchange for the simple reward of maintaining their own right to action.

Legitimacy (or even a facade of it) isn’t something the American legal system seems to care about anymore. Everything else you mentioned is just a bukkakefest of jizz-flavored icing on the cake forced down the public’s throat.

FRCP Rule 23 really needs to be reformed. The reality is there likely shouldn't be a certified class in may of these cases, if the rule or the case law were followed. Instead, courts are approving dubious settlement classes, with limited resources to review anything, and consumers are getting minimal recovery.

That said, most of the time, the damages any individual consumer experiences is relatively low. Like in the above settlement, baring actual identity theft, you likely would never be able to prove actual damages to get something more than nominal damages. So you'd likely only ever be entitled to $10 in damages if you sued.

What you should be entitled to, and what should be available but isn't, is penalties. I'd be interested to see if folks ever had a desire to expand qui tam (private parties suing on behalf of the government) to expand penalties payments out of these companies, rather than doing these BS class cases.

On top of that, class administrators are absolutely a problem: https://www.vitallaw.com/news/antitrust-news-class-action-administrators-and-banks-named-in-suit-alleging-secret-kickback-scheme-that-suppressed-settlement-payouts/ald01e2f28b76305245e097ac15f43a74e28f

Class action lawsuits are more insulting than anything.

"We got busted illegally taking millions of dollars from our customers. Here's your $12.48 in compensation."

Gee, thanks. That makes it all better. 🙄

Thank you!

funny enough it also increase the cost for the ones still on the insurance, because theres less people paying into it now. the deductibles nad OOP are designed to discourage people from using the insurance chronically in pratice.

Uh, it's already a private system. Even with Medicare and Medicaid. They're just government assistance programs that send people to private providers and private pharmacies.

We do have a proper government-run healthcare system, though: The Veterans Administration. They have their own doctors and hospitals and vastly greater efficiency than the best private hospitals/insurance.

DNC is the controlled opposition, they go to the same Epstein parties and work for the same people as Trump.

They never wanted to succeed, they wanted to pretend to care.

Thats the goal.

"Look! Government insurance is broken! We must change to a 100% private system!!"

Fixed. Thanks.

Insurance works by the health majority paying in enough to cover the sick who need the care (not including the money going to greedy fucks making record profits off the premiums).

So if they kick people off who have “never filed a claim” they’re kicking the ones off who are helping support the whole thing.

Bet the plan is to claim the government can’t subsidize the cost anymore because there’s too many sick people, and shut it down.

Very pro life of them

I believe you might have dropped one of these )

Conservatives are PURE evil. Never forget how evil they are when they have any amount of power at all.

The only thing that brings a conservative any joy is the suffering of the vulnerable.

Disown conservatives. Permanently.

Corporations and the people who run them don't care about your well being at all. They care about you giving them all your resources. Find some friends and defend yourselves.

kinda odd we are barely hearing from mehmet oz these days.

and then theres the hordes of people that had to drop thier plans because the shutdown ended with the enhanced subsidies too last year, which damaged the DNC further, because they agreed to end it early.

They are

I only hope that an unusually high number of Trump voters are affected by this.

Surely, kicking 760,000 people off of health insurance will improve the economy and won't accelerate the health insurance death spiral:

Or as Kevin Kruse puts it:

This is like accusing someone of robbing a bank because they deposited money and never withdrew it

Their vile lies wouldn't work if their constituency weren't so irredeemably stupid.

From the title, I thought the documentary wouldn't be interrupted with ads in a rare focused attack on Musk by TikTok, Meta, and Google.

But then when the realization came, I wasn't surprised, just disappointed.

The courts in the USA are the biggest bullshit institutions in this country. You don't think all these judges are just disgusting pedophiles themselves? They are above the law and need to be systematically exterminated

It’s engineered to be this way today too. Modern day dystopia in a way. Governments and Tech bros controlling behaviours abuse these platforms and you get a giant shitshow like this.
