    For real. It’s wild how often people don’t just straight up call out bad corps.

          Just because it wouldn’t stick, doesn’t mean they can’t sue you and make your life more difficult. (Not saying you shouldn’t call out bad actors like that)

            And when they sue its the time to come together and support the targets of their lawsuit to bring in the best of the best lawyers to take them down.

            You always risk a punch in the face when standing up for yourself but that doesn’t mean you should just accept abuse.
