npub17lgy0rj5a2nwpnyc4hup6ufpfz7wz6dzcgd3crm6fm2yd34dcz0qlk9uux (npub17lg…9uux) We had this is the old days.
The story of the person who used a lawn mower to trim their hedges, hurt themselves, and then successfully sued the maker of the lawn mower. It isn't true.
In the 1980s a reporter investigated the story after a major insurance company put this story a full page newspaper ad to push tort reform.
There was no source for the story, no proof. It was a lie
The insurance company almost lost its license.
We've always had fake stories that spread.
