    We need a corporate death penalty. If your company murders people it should be dismantled and sold off.

    I’d love it if the senior executives also faced charges, but I’d compromise

      we need owners of said companies to be charge criminally and get jail. including grandma with her 401k (in the form of a fine and record).

      do this once and EVERYONE with a 401k will pay attention on day two and start calling stock managers to divest instantly. I do not fund criminal organizations- why should my 401k?

      Same with regulations being rolled back. I would love to see a 10 billion dollar price tag be marked for every life lost do to a practice a company was required to perform, then was allowed to stop because an administration rolls back regulations. Just because a regulation was rolled back doesn’t mean there wasn’t a known threat to someone’s life. Executives should all receive pre-meditated murder convictions because they were already told it was a danger to the population, and the fines be paid directly to the family’s with no ability to declare bankruptcy to default on it. If a new company is started by any of the people involved the unpaid costs should transfer indefinitely ensuring they cannot own anything until they pay off the 10 billion.
