Politics aside, I see videos and stories like this all the time and always considering it a “win”. Regardless of what “team” or “side” people might be on or their cause is seen a part of, to me, suing a governmental body for solely a sum of money is not a win. Because at the end of the day all you have done is sued the tax payer. You essentially sued yourself.
If a law gets changed or a process is changed I can see the value in that but attaining a large sum of money from the tax payers which you are one of seems like a loss. Because in the end your taxes will increase and you have not harmed that organization because it’s not their money and they don’t care.
