On one hand, I kinda get it. Corporations do things, and if they get killed over small oversights there will be very real effects for many people

On the other hand, holy fuck, look around. Everything is going to shit, the planet is literally dying and we're not even living it up anymore

I mean, the justice system is kangaroo court. Two overpaid people stand in a room and argue technicalities, not right vs wrong. It's a complete farce designed to fatten people's wallets.

Corporations getting killed for mismanagement isn’t a problem. That’s make believe. Another Corp will pick the bones of the first one. The first should die. Corporations were always meant to last only a couple decades by design.

In the US companies are people. If a company is a person, then their actions should be judged as such. Oh noes, we saved 2 million dollars by not building a new retaining wall around the coke processing plant, and the old one let it leak into the river and affect drinking water. We're sorry. Oh a fine and waivers of legal fees for $500 per person affected? 600k total? We still win! How about conviction for negligence, and CEOs go to prison for 3rd degree manslaughter? (Also fuck Freedom Industries).

No, they're not people. They're royalty

That is not a "small" oversight. It's very intentional, deliberate, and fraudulent.
