There is no class action suit anymore.
That means every individual has to have the money to fight their own case against muliti billionare companies.

Do you understand it?
In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Concepcion, their loss was $30.32. This small amount, aggregated over thousands of customers, was estimated to be millions of dollars by which AT&T was alleged to have been unjustly enriched. The majority opinion by Justice Scalia (which was joined by Roberts, Ch. J., Thomas, Kennedy and Alito, J.J.), held that the Concepcions were barred from bringing their claim as a class action and were limited by the clause to pursuing their claim solely in an individual arbitration proceeding, even if that resulted, as a practical matter, in the inability to bring the claim at all.
In consumer fraud cases such as this -- where only a little money is taken from the pockets of each consumer, but over the length of the practice, the improper transactions occur hundreds or thousands of times, thus allowing corporations to reap unjust benefits at a significant cost to large numbers of consumers -- no single consumer could realistically challenge the practice. Not being able to aggregate claims with others who have the same claim means that no one consumer would bring such a claim individually.
The use of the arbitration clause to ban any class action and require only individual arbitration has been seen by other courts as a blatant attempt at "remedy stripping." The Concepcion majority seemed to recognize this. Justice Scalia stated: "The dissent claims that class proceedings are necessary to prosecute small-dollar claims that might otherwise slip through the legal system. . . . But States cannot require a procedure that is inconsistent with the FAA even if it is desirable for unrelated purposes." (Emphasis added). Translation: even though it is unfair to require a consumer to arbitrate, individually, a $30.32 claim, that's just too bad.
As the dissent reminds us: "What rational lawyer would have signed on to represent the Concepcions in litigation for the possibility of fees stemming from a $30.22 claim?" And notes, "The realistic alternative to a class action is not 17 million individual suits but zero individual suits, as only a lunatic or a fanatic sues for $30." (Breyer, J., writing, with Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagen, J.J., joining). Thus, both the majority and the dissent acknowledged that legitimate claims will be effectively barred by the rule established by the Court.
