Nobody is responsible for the own actions in America.
Slip and fall? Store fault no sign.
Burn yourself on coffee? Store fault too hot.
Kid is an idiot and doing bad in school? Add, ADHD, computer games, etc
Cancer from cigarettes? Tobacco comp fault.
Shoot up people? Video game and guns fault.
Fair or not fair, it’s how this society and business works. Ask silverandslow. Business is only there to make money. If one idiot sues over something stupid they will make sure it never happens again and forbid everyone else from doing it.
Running for office is essentially a business. You will do whatever it takes to get re-elected and keep your job, which means pleasing the majority.
Nobody is allowed to call anybody else an idiot and is afraid to do so.
