I get irritated whenever people make a snarky comment about litigiousness in the US, because I used to work in litigation support and one day I came across an issue of an industry magazine which had an article about how Brits were financing American lawsuits essentially as a form of venture capital.

But whenever anyone is making American problems worse for profit, it is assumed to be the US at fault for providing the opportunity.
