    I don’t understand why it’s always in the millions. How the hell would this username account for millions in damage?

      It isn’t. People just like to bring up the 2 or 3 most extreme examples from a country of a third of a billion people and pretend that’s a normal, everyday occurrence. You’d think that people would realize that none of us have ever actually met anyone that ever successfully sued anyone for millions of dollars and extrapolate, but they’d rather be mad at some imaginary problem in a way that conveniently makes it more difficult to use the legal system to defend ourselves from rich people if we “fix” it.
