Lawsuit against the Museum of Ice Cream is why we can't have nice things

Also, I got to wonder… what does “people are too litigious” even mean? Like, how much suing is the right amount of suing? How many people do you know who were involved in a lawsuit in their lives? And for what reason? Who gets to sue and when?

i think one thing that would cut down on lawsuits – though like you say, what is “too many”? – is socialized healthcare. i don’t know about this particular case, but i imagine some significant percentage of people are trying to cover medical debt and loss of work. and then – to cover that debt and the lawyers – the judgment has to be quite steep
