You are right, I have not caved, but I have suffered emotional distress. All of us will not getting paid.
It’s sort of the same thing as the GME fallacy … everyone is not gonna be a millionaire from this. Maybe the few up front get paid, but there won’t be much left for us.
Example: Q implied some huge companies (Facebook?) would collapse under the weight of their own illegal activities (paraphrasing iirc). If the company collapses, there is not a revenue stream to pay lawsuits or damages or lawyers fees.
Emotional distress is terrible. Because it happens internally, emotional pain is still not well understood. Many times emotional distress manifests physical illness in the body. The general public doesn't seem to view emotional harm as an injury in the same ways physical injuries are recognized and our legal system is only somewhat better.
Emotional pain produces similar activity in the brain to physical pain. There have been studies designed to measure pain that have found instances of emotional pain measured by activity in regions of the brain EXCEEDING the measurements recorded of similar brain activity in response to physical pain. So, in my opinion and based on my research to date, I view both physical and emotional injuries as significant and worthy of compensation through our legal system when the harm imposed is unlawful and deliberate as in the case of jab coercion by an employer.
The emotional injuries people are enduring as a result of discrimination, coercion and threats may be harder to collect on in a legal suit even though there is some legal precedent for compensating emotional injuries which is really unfortunate for people like yourself who have been legitimately harmed. We live in a society that values the physical over the emotional and spiritual and our legal system reflects that, I think.
In terms of this woman and her case, my perspective is that her case, if successful, should serve to set legal precedent that these companies have engaged in wrongdoing which, to me, is a win for us in efforts to purge the corruption and evil from our nation.
