What even the point of making laws and regulations if corporate can just force you to waive all your rights?
Because the laws and regulations have been influenced by lobbying by large corporations to suit them best.
I still can't comprehend why American just accepting that "lobbyists" are a normal thing.
Isn't that literally bribery in broad daylight to influence laws making decisions? And the fact that a corporate can "sponsor" politicians. You're supposed to making those laws to keep the corporate in line, not taking their handout.
Are there any other countries with the same "lobbying" practice?
A court wouldn't uphold this
and by the time the court throws it out the TV I paid for has been disabled for months and I'm out a ton of money and time. A lot of people will just agree because defending your rights in this country is very expensive and cumbersome. They're counting on this idea.
There's a nonzero chance the SCOTUS would.
That's why unalienable rights are so important.
Whats the point of laws when they just get in the way of corporate interests and exploitation.
This. Someone please think of the corporations
Will someone please think of the CEO's bonus?? (...Nah, they can get bent.)
Don't forget the poor shareholders as well. I don't know what we'd do without them
That's one big difference between the US and the EU law. In the EU, they can't.
thats what the law is becoming. a way to enforce the will of the corporate state.
