Immortality pays as long as you do it in business

Manhattan: So the maker of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is being sued in a class-action lawsuit for misleading consumers with a second version that looks nearly identical to the popular original flavor but has less booze? The real scandal here is that these cases are in civil court instead of criminal court. This is why these scams never stop happening and our quality of life gets worse and worse.

Every case in civil court should’ve been in criminal court, but police and prosecutors cash the paycheck and don’t do the work. Either someone broke the law and you have sufficient evidence or they didn’t. The victims shouldn’t have to hire attorneys and file paperwork! If our government wasn’t corrupt, consumers would’ve dialed 911, then shown detectives the two different versions. The cops would clearly see the different products are meant to look the same, and that’s the only legal standard for felony fraud. They would find where the headquarters is and call the local police to arrest the CEO, CFO and others responsible since there is sufficient probable cause. The CEOs would get to explain to a jury how deception was not the goal.

Fine print by its mere existence is fraud. It’s small so consumers miss it! But good luck getting anyone in law enforcement to protect us. If dishonest businessmen were cuffed for major crimes like poor Americans are cuffed for petty offenses, they would stop ripping off consumers every day.

We live in a police state without any of the good things about police states! Where’s Bernie Sanders and AOC? Hiding with Waldo?
