You know what the lowest cost of resolving a dispute is: zero. When someone files a class action that causes a business to stop some illegal behavior, I get protected and it costs me nothing. I may even receive a small check. Nobody benefit

It should be subsidized until we have a carbon tax.

Not in my experience. It took 7 months for the AAA to appoint an arbitrator. And, often the companies refuse to pay the upfront fees, which drags things out. See Uber.

I would also argue that the pains a social network or a cloud drive solve can be pretty well experienced by a college or younger kid. Many industry specific pains require industry specific experience.

Arbitration is way more expensive than court. The up front fees to a business are $3,400 for AAA. Sometimes more. This does provide an incentive for a business to settle a small dollar claim quickly.

Or simply say, “the state of California will not do business with companies that use forced arbitration agreements.”

This is something we built in our spare time to help people: https://levelplayingfield.io/ You can use it to search for companies with forced arbitration agreements. Also, this: https://blog.levelplayingfield.i

I didn't claim there would be less deregulation. However, it would be harder to misrepresent the original intent and easier to trace recurrence back to repeal.

I feel like every law should include the reason why it came to exist. People stop dying from it (because the regulation) therefore it’s not needed.

Only reason you were refunded money was because they originally errored in their favor. You probably would’ve received nothing but a class action was threatened by private or government actor.

You can still opt in... If businesses die because people would’ve never opted-in in the first place, what was the innovation?

You're right. And the point is only one side is currently being criticized: the consumer. Nothing is being done on the other side except for all out bans. There is an array of solutions. Pricing is a great one IMO. If that single use p
