First Chew, Then Swallow

In Fresno, California, admittedly a state populated by half-wits and lunatics, an 18-year-old man is suing, meaning seeking to make money from, after his 41-year old father died from choking as a participant in a taco-eating contest held at a minor league baseball game in 2019. According to the suit, the father "was not told of the risks beforehand" and "no steps were taken by the event organizers to protect him."

Gee, I'm no lawyer and I don't even like tacos, nevertheless I am fully up to speed on the risks of shoving as many tacos down my throat as fast as I can, one after another, in hopes of winning some sort of dumb prize. And I do wonder what steps might have been taken to protect him. Duct tape over the mouth? An IQ test beforehand? 

The fact that a licensed lawyer has taken on this case is further evidence that not only is the general population losing the ability to engage in critical thinking, but today's lawyers are scummier than ever and will do just about anything for a buck. I wonder who I can sue about my debilitating nausea every time I hear that insane cackle emitted by Kamala Harris, her go-to response for every question lobbed at her. Or the sharp pains in my head whenever I see or hear Joe Biden attempt to make sense. Surely some California lawyer will take my case.
