At what point are we willing to entertain a fine large enough to bankrupt an enterprise?
Should we consider the economic impact to the neighborhood, city, state, or nation when levying fines?
Do you think VW shareholders are angry? I think not. They know management did what it had to do. I'm just mad that they threw the programmers under the bus.
- mikeash 11y agoIt doesn't seem like we consider the economic impact of fines to individuals. The government looks to be more than happy to bankrupt people as part of punishment. Why should corporations get special treatment. "Too big to fail"?
