Reply to comment by L_Cranston_Shadow in J&J’s Talc Bankruptcy Case Thrown Out by Appeals Court by L_Cranston_Shadow

Good old Texas…always looking to fuck the common man who was harmed by huge companies.

Why doesn’t Texas try to put a cap on how much harmful cancer-causing crap a company can put in its products? (instead of capping how much you can sue them for when they do?)

Usually I would say we have nothing on Delaware, when it comes to keeping companies from being held responsible, but thanks to the oil, gas, and chemical companies that are the lifeblood of Galveston and the bay, there is no accountability anymore. Every few years one of the refineries catches fire and/or explodes, and still nothing is done. It also doesn't help that our legislature only meets every two years and that the victims are poor and predominantly African American.
