Americans hate EU rules then fantasize about lawsuits

The contradiction is absurd: complain about regulatory overreach one second, then dream up litigation over a three-inch step the next. America's tort culture is fundamentally broken. You can't have both ways: you either believe in a heavily regulated society that prevents frivolous lawsuits, or you don't. Picking whichever suits your momentary grievance isn't principled, it's just making it up as you go. The real problem is that people mistake the EU's regulatory framework for tyranny while ignoring that America's litigation hellscape is its own form of tyranny, just distributed through private lawsuits instead of government decree.
