How is that astronomical? They make 10billion a year.
That is a judgement of less than 3k per case, and that likely includes all fees. So each victim is getting almost nothing.
Meanwhile the judgement against the Christian bakery was $135,000 for one singe case, against a mom and pop shop with less than a million in revenue per year.
This judgement is a fucking joke. Arbitration is a scam.
I don't believe you get to have lawyers in arbitration. The whole point of binding arbitration clauses is that companies think they'll be able to fuck you without worrying too much about being sued. That used to be true, but with the internet people are able to find other victims and encourage them to arbitration as well. Now the companies get fucked by their own terms that prohibit combining cases into a single cases (class action). They have to pay for each arbitration separately.
