    All fines should be percentage of income instead of some arbitrary number.

      They also need to remove the limited liability from companies for intentional illegal activities.

      illegal business practices should be charged to the people involved instead of the company. The executives who made the decision to break the law lose personal assets.

      Otherwise the shitheads just pass the company losses onto the employees: no raises, hiring freezes, layoffs, reduction in benefits, etc…

        Intentional? Better use Negligent. It’s hard to prove intent; knowledge of something going on is much easier to prove.

        100%. We need more personal liability for the evils of big business, not less

      Shoulda coulda woulda.

      My aunt recently gave me a good advice, and a person in one chat with, I suspect, very interesting expertise gave the same advice in different form.

      Emotions harm reason, and propaganda is not just directed at suppressing or increasing the emotion. It’s directed at making you emotional when you should be patient, and apathetic when you should be emotional, and act when you should wait, and wait when you should act.

      It can easily work since everyone feels their fight of their day to be unique. But it’s not, and more than that - you can always look a few years back and remember that not only was it predicted, but you yourself predicted it.

      By all this smartassery I meant - people making the laws don’t want them to work as we do, and they have sterilized the field. Think further.
