    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.
