literally ruin peoples' lives
The remarkable truth is that most regular people in the US don't actually care about wrongly ruining people's lives. Most people are primarily concerned with living their own life, and avoiding winning the shit lottery, and when they find out someone else won, they count their lucky stars it wasn't them and move on.
It would be far better if people invested time, effort, and money into dismantling the shit lottery itself. But most people don't have the resources. And, dismantling the shit lottery is a good way to increase your odds of 'winning' it. (Speaking truth to power most often doesn't end well for the speaker.)
