    It would cost Disney literally pocket change to compensate the widower, but instead they rather spend hundred of thousands of dollars for lawyers and legal fee to fight it.

      They’re using this chance since they know they can easily dispute it to try and set precedent for terms and services being used in situations that don’t make sense.

      The judge will probably slap it down and they can still say that they don’t have anything to do with the restaurant and just walk away free, but it’s worth trying cause there’s plenty pro corpo judges now a days.

      Did you mean “pocket changes” like “yay new pockets” or “pocket change” like “a little money”?

      You said “literally” so I’m thinking they’re paying in linen swatches.

        You probably think you’re clever but being pedantic is just being insufferable about stuff everyone else understood from context. That doesn’t make you clever, that just shows everyone that you need to be seen as clever.

      It’s not pocket change to kill a doctor, quite the opposite. They earn very well, she will be very well compensated.

        You know how much Disney is worth or their annual profit?

        Even something like 10 millions is just cost of business or a rounding error to Disney.

            Give me one example, in the entire history of mankind, a settlement for 1 live loss worth 100mil or more.

            Idk what perfect world you came from, but in this fucked up world we’re living in, a human life ain’t cost that much.
