This is all BS, but specifically the "hot coffee" incident: She was injured when coffee spilled as she was trying to remove the lid on the cup, she was not driving, she wasn't behaving dangerously. The coffee (kept at a temperature WAY above what is considered safe) gave her third degree burns to her thighs and vagina within ten seconds. She asked Mcdonalds to pay for her medical expenses and they refused. She sued and was awarded what equals coffee sales at Mcdonalds for one day. Big businesses never learn to treat the little people well unless it hits them where they hurt (money). You must use the master's tools to dismantle the master's house.
