NY Wrests $1 Million From Verizon Wireless

netbuzz writes "Unlimited really means unlimited, even in advertising. So says the New York State Attorney General's Office in squeezing a $1 million settlement out of Verizon Wireless for disconnecting 13,000 of its customers who had the temerity to believe that the unlimited service they were promised came with unlimited service. Verizon's statement explaining the settlement is a gem, too."

Nah, it's just time to regulate, restrict, cap, and price fix lawyer hourly rates. Say $50 an hour. They've abused the system creating thousands and thousands of complicated laws to make the populace dependent upon lawyers. This mass of laws and lawyer fees is in violation of the 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual fines. So, just pass a law that limits their hourly rate to no more than $50 per hour, or about what their DUMB paralegals earn (lawyers don't have talent or skills, except reading comprehension and purposefully creating obfuscation in the laws). And pass massive penalties for lawyers that overcharge; prison, civil forfeiture, revoke the immunity of lawyers losing their homes from legal disputes, etc.

The lawyers declared WAR on the rest of society. They are sitting on their dumb, lazy, fat asses doing wholly unproductive work, living the high life while leaching like parasites off of productive society. The number of lawyers graduating per year is out of control, the amount of money lawyers are siphoning off of society is out of control. So it's time to figuratively BOMB the legal WELFARE profession back to the stone age.
