    No no no no no nope not even as a joke.

    If you can financially gain from opting out, very poor people will have no choice but to opt out and risk it. Proven time and time again. People should not be allowed to waive their rights for petty personal gains. Your rights are unwaivable, that’s what makes them rights.

      Your rights are absolutely able to be waived, they just can’t be taken away. It’s a subtle but meaningful difference.

      Agreed on the whole thing up until “your rights are unwaivable”. If that were the case then those are not your rights to begin with. Freedom includes the freedom to abstain.
