Was the first thing that came to mind. Also should have been scrapped.
If you’re violating regulations you literally cannot be trusted on anything else.
I get the anger, but that’s the worst possible solution.
Where do you think the people that have been pulling this off successfully for years are gonna go? To unemployment lines, or to the next big paycheck in some other company? Spoiler alert: publicly traded companies are the natural habitat of ambitious twats with zero scruples.
And how about the guys that actually work the shop floor, how likely are they to have some other work opportunity that pays as well?
Translation: It is acceptable for a multi-national corporation to fuck over the general public safety of the entire fucking planet for DECADES because people will lose a job if they don’t do it. Therefore you should levy some basic punishment that will not affect them at all.
Sorry. Not buying it.
Your hitting a straw man , but knock yourself out.
Nowhere was I advocating for “basic punishment”. Take the fuckers who came up with this and give them good proper jail sentences. Do the same to every single guy above them who allowed this. Slap fines that are a % of the company’s revenue, and not some weak ass random value. Go after the shareholders and make them pay the fine, not allowing the company bankrupt.
Closing down the company makes everything go away, the guys who benefited billions off of this get to walk away without a scratch. And you think that’s the better idea… Oh man.
Accusing me of hitting a strawman while you’re actively making shit up, assuming and shoving words down my mouth trying to turn my position into something entirely different.
I do not respect you enough to put any more energy into talking with you. Bye.
