Forced Arbitration.....
“It just became nearly impossible to get a deal on a General Mills product without forfeiting your rights to sue the company.”
“This policy, known as "forced arbitration," is becoming common among companies seeking ways to prevent users and customers from joining together and suing for millions of dollars for things like false advertising.”
“General Mills recently paid $8.5 million to settle a lawsuit over Yoplait Yoplus yogurt. In late 2012, it settled another suit over the word “strawberry” on label for Strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups (a product which does not contain actual strawberries).
A California judge recently refused to dismiss a case suing the Nature Valley brand over the word “natural," since its products contain some processed ingredients.”
“It’s essentially trying to protect the company from all accountability, even when it lies, or say, an employee deliberately adds broken glass to a product.”
(These corporations don’t want to be accountable to ANYONE. Not their employees. Not to their customers. Certainly not to the Government. They want to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and have nobody be able to question anything.
Here you can save $1.50 on Lucky Charms….. but if your kids gets sick (because we cut corners) it is not our responsibility. Thank you for your loyalty to General Mills. Now f*** off.)

Sometimes company’s like Monsanto can get the government to protect them by law. They can then do whatever they want and the results are YOUR problem….
Of course if the government won’t cooperate with this ploy then please use our coupon.
Meanwhile CVS and Target are having you sign away all your Hipaa rights simply by picking up your prescription. You sign their little electronic box (without reading it of course) and now CVS can talk about you (and your medical issues) with whoever they like. Isn’t that great?
The government is fine with this they just want them to be a LITTLE less shady about the practice.
