    I have an extremist view of the legal system: I think all lawyers should be government employees and they should be assigned cases based on their area of expertise in law.

    So no matter how many people sue you and no matter how much legal harassment any given entity attempts, it’s the government’s problem to manage all of that.

    It shouldn’t be possible to bankrupt someone with legal fees alone. It shouldn’t be possible for a billionaire (or corporation) to always have the best legal team. It shouldn’t cost millions of dollars to defend yourself from or litigate a patent.

    The only way I can think of to solve these problems is to get rid of private firms.
