Sue them in court for damages. Folks sue corporations all the time for various reasons and often win. We should be able to sue polluters as well, but governments often protect them for various reasons (like tax base, campaign contributions, etc). Oil spills are a great example of corporations having immunity thanks to government.
- ZenoArrow 11y agoThe court system is an arm of the government. Are you saying the government should pass regulations and/or set out citizen rights that limit the potential behaviour of corporations?
- cpursley 11y agoNo, I'm saying corporations lobby and have laws passed that protect them from (as well as from competition), making them immune. Going full-libertarian is not even necessary, just roll back those laws. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/29/supreme-court-if-it-s-worth-it-for-corporations-pollution-may-be-okay.html http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/29/supreme-cou...
