Comment on Why has the world gone to shit?

  I looked at some of those, and it’s private citizens suing corporations…

  Even the rent one with the DOJ, it’s just them becoming involved in private lawsuits…

  That’s not the same as the government regulating capitalism.

  And while that one is sort of related to the topic, not really. It’s because the price fixing is automated by a computer program a bunch of landlords used.

  In the future if you only give one link and some kind of explanation other than “like this?” The person you replied to can probably do a better job of helping you understand.

    This is like saying that Texas doesn’t regulate abortion because it’s just private citizens filing lawsuits. That is bullshit.

    Without the regulations, there would be no legal basis for filing a lawsuit.
