Watched an expat video on youtube recently where he said he would never go back to America because the legal system is effectively lawless. Reading things like this, and others, makes me agree. There is this idea in America that countries with Civil Law systems instead of Common Law are more dangerous, but are they really more dangerous than "the law doesn't actually mean what it says, it means what this judge said 80 years ago it says"? The financial asymmetry just makes it worse, wealthy people and entities can very easily lawfare their enemies out of existence.
