"We present this project to help expose crimes masquerading as commerce."
Bernie seems like a good man and that makes him tempting because he sticks out from the other front runners. But his policies, as well flavored as you can make them, do come down to stuff like this, which is...mindless.
Can we agree that the policies and structure should change to incentivize good behavior? Can we work on that instead of putting 20 faces on the wall and screaming "evil!". Let's have a government, not a mob.
As a younger guy I traveled to El Salvador and heard a comment in passing "well, here its 51% communist and 49% capitalist, the next election could go either way" and I thought "thank god for all of the problems we have in America, we don't have this one." Well...now we do.
- Thriptic 11y agoI agree, this is absurd. Ignoring the fact that this conflates ethically questionable behavior with illegal behavior, why are only the heads of CEOs being called for? What about the rank and file within the companies who actually perpetrated the bad behavior? What about people on the outside who colluded with the companies to enable the bad behavior, and potentially profited from it? What about the regulators and politicians who failed to adequately notice and prevent bad behavior, or took kick backs / bribes? What about the shareholders and analysts who profited from and arguably incentivize bad behavior by being incredibly short sighted? What about subcontractors and suppliers who enabled and profited from the behavior?
