Seriously, I have been a party to at least 7 “class-action” lawsuits in the past 15 years and never once did I ask to be a party to it. You are added automatically and have to “ask” to be excluded, that is, if you even know about it before it is settled.
The only people getting anything in these suits are the lawyers. The whole legal system is a big joke (on us).
The solution is clear! We get together and file a class action suit against lawyers!
