168. true enough: the courts are wildly stacked in favor of wealthy corporations
and individuals with sufficient resources to pursue their goals through the civil court system. The way normal people get any redress at all in civil courts is through the torte system and through contingency based fees. That is why the plutocrats would like to get rid of contingency fees and punitive awards - puts another brick in the wall. They count on fools to help them.
