Settlements

Over the last few months, thanks to living in this litigious country I have been the recipient of settlements from 2 large class action lawsuits.  One from Ford and one from my health insurance company.  I don't remember ever voluntarily being a part of these lawsuits - but apparently I'm automatically included in them as a former owner of a Ford car with a defective transmission (which I definitely agree with - I remember having all kinds of issues with my automatic gears) and by having my data stolen via my health insurance company being hacked.  And what was my big compensation for these egregious failures?  $20 for my transmission, and $12 for the data breach.  Yes, I really hit the jackpot...
