- harimau777 2y agoUnfortunately, excessive litigation is one of the downsides of an under regulated society. If our only protection from corporations is lawsuits then we shouldn't be surprised that people bring a lot of lawsuits.

- mmooss 2y ago> excessively litigious I haven't heard evidence that litigation is excessive, except by very wealthy corporations and people. I think most or many people lack access to litigation - they can't afford to use it or to protect themselves from it.
