It irks me that you're allowed to effectively call me stupid but any response would get me in trouble. Appealing to the authority of rich white dudes on this topic is not at all convincing.

Allowing people to "sign" away their 7th amendment rights, in some cases in order to simply maintain already paid for services, is ridiculous. Arbitration should be between equal parties (i.e. businesses, you and your neighbor) or

You make a design decision and you should be stuck with it forever. You build your own hell one mistake at a time. If you don't like it, quit in shame instead.

Taxpayers money like the 10s of billions apple stashed overseas until they (and others) managed to lobby for massive corportate tax breaks? Before someone gives me the standard "don't hate the player hate the game" speech. I
