The important thing to keep in mind is that the only kind of damages that were limited were non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Actual damages including loss of income is still recoverable. So those stories in the NY Times about people being impoverished should be taken with a grain of salt.

What we need to do next is put a stop to class action suits. They are just a means to circumvent the standing requirement.

I’m not so sure about that. Class action suits certainly need to be better regulated and more strictly certified; I do not think they need to be eliminated.
