And, as we all know, if you ever heard someone say "asbestos" Johns Manville owes you $1 billion. If those claims were true, every shipyard worker, plumber, sailor, etc. ever born died of it a hundred years ago. I remember that distinctly.

Next: another wave of "your vaccine gave my child autism".

Trust me: juries do not need proof of actual causation to award huge sums of money to someone who claims to be affected. These travesties persist because of the trial lawyers associations and insurance companies.

That can't be right, insurance companies HATE paying money.
"Don't fling me in that briar patch!" Insurance premium rates are controlled by State agencies, they can recover only a fixed percent of their investment. Would you rather have 3% of $100 million, or 3% of $100 billion?
