It's been like that for a while.....I remember seeing all the commercials law offices were pumping out encouraging people to sue....As you are learning. In America it's not so simple. Skin color keeps a lot of people from doing what needs to be done. It's simply easier to let them do what they want to do. Just stay as far away from it as you can.
In a similar vein, doctors are no longer willing to step up and try and help an injured bystander. If they try and help, and the person dies, it will be a lawsuit more often than not now.
Litigation is one of the things killing America.
I'm seeing more and more of them in Canada now....
.....not good.....
