No the government should not stay out of it.

How does this make any sense “if you, or anyone you know, has ever bought our taxi, you can not sue when our driver hits you”?

“Buyer beware” is not an argument when this shit is buried in pages of dence leagle documents or in some case never presented to the end user (in the case of a things like appliance delivery, where the buyer never sees the documents included). Do you expect me to hire a lawyer to buy a washer machine, or to sign up for a free Disney+ trail? Speaking of Disney, how about that “allergy friendly” restuant that killed someone with allergies. Theae forced arbitration clauses are letting companies people get away with wrongful deaths.

implied warranty of merchantability If the restaurant says their food does not contain an ingredient and they say the food prep is craefully done to ensure no cords contamination and someone dies because the ingredient was in the food - there’s a problem and justice needs to be upheld.

Being a rebublicans or wanting “small goverment” has nothing to do with this. Yes too much gov intervention is bad, but with out it we’d still be eating rats in our hamburgers.

Don’t bring abritarty sides into a problem when people are dying and no one is getting held accountable.

I’m like 80% sure they were being sarcastic in that comment. I hope so anyways.

Imagine hiring a taxi without having your lawyer review the terms and conditions, lol
