Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

The legal system is kind of a scam (lemmy.ca)

They make laws really overcomplicated so that most people have no choice but hire lawyers

They will provide you with a free lawyer if you are defending yourself from a crime you've been convicted of, otherwise you are on your own. For example I was sold a house that is on a septic tank and that was never disclosed to me upon purchasing. It is now on me to source and pay for a lawyer to sue the guy who sold me the house, especially since said septic system doesn't work and is backing up. Part of the suit is to cover my legal fees, but i actually have to win to get that covered.
