The legal system in North America has become thoroughly dysfunctional.
Want justice?
That'll run you somewhere between $500 and $1,000 an hour for the services of a lawyer. You might luck out and get a junior partner assigned to your file at $200 per hour.
Imagine what a two or three day trial is going to cost you.
When you're making twelve bucks an hour that legal system might as well be on another planet.
The US is a little better than Canada in that it's easier to find lawyers on a sue-now pay-later basis.
This situation is the result of several generations having been brainwashed into believing that law school is a more prestigious destination than engineering school.
While America was graduating ten lawyers for every engineer, China and Japan and Korea were graduating ten engineers for every lawyer.
And it shows.
