Class action suits *NEVER* benefit the consumer, because they are not
meant to. Class action suits are bascially an extortion scam by lawyers
designed for their benefit. And corporations go along with them because
class action suits have the useful side-effect of shielding them from
individual lawsuits. It's a win-win situation for ambulance-chasing
lawyers and corporations, and a lose-lose for the consumer.
