The couple added that they were “horrified” that a large corporation like Uber could “avoid being sued in a court of law by injured consumers because of contractual language buried in a dozen-page-long user agreement concerning services unrelated to the one that caused the consumers’ injuries.”

After several days and countless news stories surrounding Disney’s bid to use Disney+ terms to shield itself from a lawsuit tied to Disney World, the Hollywood giant later backtracked and dropped the legal claim, allowing the matter to proceed in court instead of through arbitration.

They chose to be born in a country where corporations have been writing laws and installing judges for longer than there's been electricity, better luck next life I guess since I doubt this will get anyone involved to change their voting habits to third party.

I'm hoping you're going to add a sarcasm to that, yeah?

Only half sarcastic. They didn't choose to be born, no one would willingly choose to be born in the US.
