Solution: There should be a rule that if you sue someone, and if you lose, then you pay their attorney's fees and the court costs. That would discourage these stupid law suits.

Unfortunately, it would also discourage many sensible law suits, especially against large organisations with big, expensive teams of lawyers.
I believe the solution should be that judges should throw out frivolous actions and be able to penalise those who bring them.
