"This really nails home the point that the legal system is not intended to protect ordinary citizens from the worst people in our society, it’s there to protect the very worst in our society from ordinary citizens."
I caught this quote on X that says pretty much the same thing:
"Some will rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen." - Woody Guthrie
I really hope the message is received--the workers are tired of dying for CEOs who make millions out of denying health care coverage. The shoe is on the other foot now.
In 1902, American lawyer Clarence Darrow said, “Those men who own the earth make the laws to protect what they have. They fix up a sort of fence or pen around what they have, and they fix the law so the fellow on the outside cannot get in. The laws are really organized for the protection of the men who rule the world. They were never organized or enforced to do justice. We have no system for doing justice, not the slightest in the world.”
