@Stahesh - The amount of bullshit, arising from some obscure lawsuit, is staggering.
I've been working to formulate a post-collapse order for some years now. Our criminal justice system (as written) is about as good as can be accomplished without omniscience or modern forensics.
But the civil lawsuits ..? Those gotta go, I think. Or else some major reform is required (like "no lawyers allowed" sort of major).
@YoMomz @Stahesh Civil law can work insofar as it is an extension of contract law. Did they violate the contract? Yes or no. Part of the problem though is activist judges: They make a ruling not based on the text of the contract but on what "justice" they want to see done or because the plaintiff/defendant is attractive not based on what the contract said.
The easiest way to improve civil law would be to make a "loser-pays" scheme the default. It would dissuade people from suing with no risks.
@YoMomz @Stahesh Even at a village level, civil law based on a contract, even if that contract is three sentences on a napkin with thumbprints in poke-berry ink or functionally a receipt for services to be rendered, contract enforcement is the second function of minimalist government after defense from outside threats because ultimately, you need someone to arbitrate and judge in a situation where the parties cannot come to a decision without resorting to violence between themselves.
