To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand California unfair competition law. The jurisprudence is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the canons of statutory interpretation most of the law will go over a typical litigant's head. There’s also the common law tort of fraud, which is deftly woven into this patchwork of statutory causes of action - its legislative rationale draws heavily from Learned Hand's jurisprudence, for instance. The lawyers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these laws, to realise that they’re not just profitable- they say something deep about SOCIETY. As a consequence people who dislike unfair competition law truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the genius in B&P section 17500's text “any statement, concerning that real or personal property or those services, professional or otherwise, or concerning any circumstance or matter of fact connected with the proposed performance or disposition thereof, which is untrue or misleading, and which is known, or which by the exercise of reasonable care should be known, to be untrue or misleading, or for any person, firm, or corporation to so make or disseminate or cause to be so made or disseminated any such statement as part of a plan or scheme with the intent not to sell that personal property or those services, professional or otherwise, so advertised at the price stated therein, or as so advertised” which itself is a cryptic reference to the 14th amendment limits on specific jurisdiction. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the Legislature's genius wit unfolds itself on PACER. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a unfair competition law tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the the lawyers’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

This post starts out as normal then degrades into a copypasta at the end...

Trying to file a lawsuit over a fast food place running out of dipping sauce is the most Jerry thing ever.

McDonalds just acted like Rick and suddenly all those Rick fans don’t like being on the receiving end of nihilism and “not giving a shit”.
If McDonalds PR team posted “Ha, there never was any sauce at all!” on the morning after, it would have been even better.
