That's an essentially totally misinformed view of the law -- especially civil law -- in the US.

It's all about how much money you can spend on lawyers and experts, not whether you're right or not.

Hell, the government doesn't even know what the laws they write say, and they rarely agree on what they mean.



This just isn't true. Yes, if you have zero dollars it's bad news for you. But if you have enough money to have decent lawyers then things even out, even if the other person has much more money than you. Then what the law says is a big deal!

Most people don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on lawyers. My comment stands in the general case as a result.


Telegram does though.
