Who are the CEOs?

2024 has been my favorite year. We start of strong with putting pedophiles in jail and end on a even bigger note with the payback death of a healthcare CEO and this lawsuit to 10 majors companies trying to kill us for profits!

Let's just gloss over the whole election thing

Judging strictly by the article; it feels like this case is weak as a wet paper bag.

How do you prove that the diseases you experienced were not ones you were unknowingly predisposed to? Do they have some proof?

Something tells me that this is a paper tiger of a case. I don't get the feeling they're going to be able to prove it well enough. Being able to make the assertions that this case does as facts REQUIRES DECADES OF SCIENTIFIC DATA!

I shouldn't be able to read the defendant's statement and be able to agree with it. The fact that I can agree with it bothers me when I know how negligent these companies typically are. I hope I'm wrong; because if this case flops; it gives them an easy out.
