' US culture is utterly intolerant of any kind of "spirit of the law" governance ...'
yet USA tolerates government immunity which leads to government bad actors having little fear of being successfully sued.
- nicoburns 5y agoUS lawsuit culture is a whole other kettle of fish! I agree that government officials shouldn't have special protections that others don't have. On the other hand, I feel like an approach where there was greater collective responsibility such that suing individuals wasn't such a large part of the culture would be a huge benefit. For example, better health coverage such that individuals aren't on the hook for other people's medical bills.
