      I’d do it for free just out of anger, but even if you wanted to make money you could probably do a “I won’t charge you anything I’ll just take a percent if we win” thing and succeed and also make shitty people unhappy

        TL;DR; they've capped a host of avenues one might use to assess and collect damages.

        The entire southwest has been cranking the ratchet on tort law for decades. The Alex Jones settlement is just the tip of the iceberg.
