Consider introducing 50% tariff for all IT related services coming from California. The business would be booming everywhere else in no time. If you get rid of those tariffs in 5-10 years maybe the net result would be better for people. It's not obvious at all that it wouldn't be.

- PhantomGremlin 10y agoYou don't need a "technical" solution to a problem like that. You need a social solution. What would suffice is a criminal investigation into a company's behavior. 99% of a company's employees would immediately "rat out" a company as an alternative to being personally faced with criminal liability. A board of directors would fall over themselves to change a company's management if they were personally faced with criminal liability. Oh sure, there are a few CEOs willing to push the envelope too far. But ask Bernie Ebbers and Jeff Skilling how that's working out for them. I'd say go ask "Kenny Boy" Lay, but alas, he departed the corporeal plane before his situation played itself out.
