A woman forced to act in child porn issuing hundreds of men arrest for possessing her images.(Police: A little gift from the process server.) Under the doctrine of joint and several liability, anyone who benefits from a crime can be held responsible for its full impact on its victim. (Woman: $3.8 million, perv man.) If successful, this tactic would set an important precedent: you could sue anyone who benefits from your exploitation! (Man: Because you paid too little for products made by my underpaying employer, you owe $600,000.) Unfortunately, it cuts both ways... (Woman: Hey tall white glib man. Is that one of my sweatshop t-shirts you're wearing?)
Lower the countries bills and maybe there will be less crime (sueing), for little stuff like, “oh, I didn’t know the coffee in your cup was going to be hot when I spilled it on me, give me a million dollars.”
Companys charging higher prices, cops stopping citizens for speeding to make their quota to pay their paychecks increasing. Electricity going up, gas, cable, insurance, car payments, food, necessitys, clothing…It’s time for a uniersal pay raise or lower bills, preferrably both.
