why do they need THAT much money?
George Bush caused katrina
Great, give these people all kinds of money, and within a few years they will have blown it all. Then they will turn around a sue again for being broke claiming the government should have known better than to give them the money all at once as they would not be able to properly handle it.
Cause no Americans have suffered due to Iraq? I am sure that losing a family member or two might change your mind on that...Mason4Assassin444 wrote:
Katrina was more of a disaster to this administration than the poor planning of Iraq ever will be. Due to the fact that it was Americans that suffered.
And you are right, they had 4 days warning. PACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT $3 QUADRILLION IN ITEMS AND GET THE HELL OUT!
The real winners here are the lawyers. They get paid regardless.
To be fair, they haven't actually won anything yet. This is just initiating the process that will probably end up being very costly.konfusion wrote:
I don't mind a bit of money going towards them, but this is insane. But I guess this is just showing you how stupidly easy it is to get money through sueing in the USA.

Little is known about the person who claimed $3 quadrillion. It was filed in Baker Parish (a county), 93 miles northwest of New Orleans. Baker is far from the epicenter of Katrina's destruction, but the city has a trailer park where hundreds of evacuees have lived since the storm.

For the sake of perspective: A mere $1 quadrillion would dwarf the U.S. gross domestic product, which Scott said was $13.2 trillion in 2007. A stack of one quadrillion pennies would reach Saturn.

I wonder who the citizens of Atlantis would have sued? Surely not the Godz!

The sad part of it for me, is that people think they have even the faintest chance of getting a stupid amount of money like that.
What next...
And even if they do get the 3 quadrillion, which the US doesnt have then they will have to print new dollar bills which in terms will even more lower the currency of the dollar making that 3 quadrillion worth as much as for example a million euro's. And thus killing the entire dollar.

I was just thinking about that. I remember some old show where these kids catch a leprechaun and get 3 wishes. One wishes for "All the money in the world." Once he gets all the money, the world obviously switches currency, since the old form of currency is basically extinct.RDMC wrote:

...raises pinky to lip.
Honestly though, this is staggeringly stupid. This turns actual tragedy and heartbreak into a farce. Now no matter how bad this individual actually had it they will most likely be ridiculed and relegated to idiocy.

22inch rims are expensive... lol
Some lawyer told these people they could get ...PAID... and they were like... Sounds good to me...
The money that was sent in donations was huge and the 2000 dollar cash cards were a joke... Liquor stores and lap dances... sad
and how come the california wildfire folks who had their homes burnt to the ground arent asking for a quadzillliontrillion dollars....?
I'm sure some 16 year old will be along soon to tell us why... lol

Love is the answer
The only reason people sue for this money is the precedent the U.S. judicial systems has set in awarding it. We need to review our considerations of civil cases to eliminate pointless lawsuits such as this. Suing is so terribly overused by morons who are too lazy to get money through working or too lazy to improve their life. It is viewed as nothing more than the lottery, except with much better chances of cashing in. Until we alter this perception, frivolous litigation such as this will always exist.
Isn't the US already in debt for like, a trillion dollars or something stupid like that?
The people seeking so much money should be shot.
"My life was ruined by a flood... I want $53,555,555 for my troubles."
