I think it's a conversation that should be had; I try not to be one of those folks who says hand-wavey things like, "Something must be done!" But, in this case, I don't know what the right answer is. Evil, and that's what this behavior is, on this scale is hard to fathom and hard to discuss at human scale. You're probably right that there are better ways that cause less harm. I just don't know how to get there. Corporations at this level wield so much power, it's hard to figure out how governments or courts can effectively regulate them. Regardless, I don't think this settlement is enough, because the people involved (generally, though I think a couple of low-level engineers were fired) will continue going to work each day, drawing their massive salaries. I'm willing to concede I don't have all the answers on what justice really looks like, but I'm confident it's not this. This just isn't enough for years of cold, calculated, destruction of human life for profit.
