This suit could be the work of one lawyer. One guy. From that you draw a rule about Californians. Whatever state you are from, I draw the conclusion that everyone there can't think. Fair? Further, while I don't know the legal basis for asking for "all the profits" from 360, redistribution of some profits to those whose losses weren't covered by warranty (basically enforcing coverage) would be a good thing. Do you call that a HANDOUT? Companies DO sometimes pollute, poison, harm, chop loved ones in half with negligence, etc. When they have to pay for it, is it a HANDOUT, McCain fan? |
Let's not get carried away: as someone else noted, the only person that's going to profit from this is one shady (but I repeat myself) attorney--last time I looked, 360s weren't picking up axes and dicing little girls to bits and, while irritating and negligent in the extreme, MS has at least made an honest effort at picking up the pieces (not of little girls, natch) even if they had to be pushed/coerced/bound and gagged into it.
That said, if you personally think that one greedy (but I repeat myself) ambulance chaser--in-between shaking down the latest big, evil, corporation(TM)--deserves to bleed MS for some money, fine, but please don't pretend that this is anything like a company pouring toxic waste into the water supply of an orphanage for the blind and deaf.
As for his comments about Californians, in general, being greedy, it isn't so much that, to a man, they have their hands out, but considering that the laws and courts in the state are more congenial than average to this sort of nonsense, he has an indirect point (and I say this having lived in Cali for a decade and being exposed to the inner workings of its bureaucracy--a bureaucracy that would make Satan green with envy).
